GPS coordinates - Bush Camp, Border Ranges NP, North of Lindesay View

I agree that Long Creek Road appears easy to find. My problem is that the maps I have show the location of the camp North of Lindesay View. Long Creek Road takes you to the North East. Maybe the map in the reference books are a little out?

I'll second this....

I drove to where this campsite was supposed to be and it appeared that a farmers fence now blocked the overgrown track. Suspect this info is very out of date. This was at least 8 years ago.

Thanks for that Brian. It appears as though you are referring to the same camp as the one I am looking for.

The “See Australia by 4WD” books I have are both edited by Ron and Viv Moon. The description of this place lead my wife and I there a couple of years ago. After searching around for a little while, using only the route directions in the book, we gave up and stayed instead at nearby Sheepstation Creek. It sounds like you and your family went one step further and spoke the locals. Good on you.

I was hoping that this place does exist and be as pleasant as the description in the book. I was also hoping that the magic of GPS would make it easier to find. Looks like mother nature might be claiming it back.

Cheers,

Steve

Yep... it was the same book, but don't blame Ron and Viv for the info, it's the publishers laziness for not re-checking the info. I have a feeling that we were there in 2003, the fence that Rod refers to is on the land of the farmer I spoke with. The original track crossed his property for about a kilometre from memory. Just before the end of the road, on the left is a "farmers gate", we went through and there were two drain crossings. not really creeks, but the 3rd crossing was a little more adventurous. We walked it first and then about 50 metres further we found the old fire trail sign, but it had taken us 15 minutes to walk that 50 metres! The overgrown lantana was so thick! So we gave up and drove back to a picnic ground that I think may have been Sheepstation Creek, enjoyed our lunch and then headed home. Had a good day, but it's a shame that the publishers can't/won't/don't get their facts straight before putting these books on the shelf. The Old Grafton Stock Route that is in the book DOES exist, and is a pleasant trip to do. I don't know about the others.

Cheers

You've gotta hate fences and gates!

Thanks Brian,
