Hi all,
Notice I have now added "L" after my name to help destinguish if any other Donalds are out there.
I would like to share of a nice place to visit for a "LONG" Weekend or plus if you have the extra time to spare. But not so good in the Hot Weather: Best in Spring / Autum. The many flat,
well grassed campsites are all along the river flats and near
Bendethera in the
Deua National Park, 2 hrs modest drive South West of
Moruya on the South Coast.(just below Bateman's Bay)
We go there every
Easter & the Odd long=weekend with the Family & have been for 12 years or so and we all love it.
The best entry is along "Womban" and then "Little Sugarloaf Roads" out of
Moruya.
If it is wet you wil need BFG's A/T's or equivalent for traction. Very steep & narrow in parts, Pick the right time of day to travel as you cannot pass in
places & difficult with camper trailers to reverse / turn etc. (we take our trailer)
There are still a few fire
trails still open on the ridges also. Nice drives. We left there one year direct from Deua to Araluen along the "Merricumbene" Fire Trail, that was a mean drive especially with the camper trailer. (Not sure if this trail is still open??) Last
Easter we had a few bikers ripping the place up but a deputation of several of us Serious Campers encouraged them to move on.
New "Clean" Pit
Toilets, Clean Running Water, Roo's, Wombats & Possums.
Mobile phones don't work down there, only Sat phones etc. Deep Valley.
If you want to lay back & do nothing in the Wilderness,, this is the place. Excellent for kids. Hope to see you down there one day,
Regards
Donald
