Hi All,
SWMBO and I are coming back to
Brisbane from a trip to
Sydney in about 10 days and plan to avoid both the
New England and Pacific Hwys as much as possible. Part of this trip will include a stop somewhere in or around the
Barrington Tops NP. The current planned route is in via
Moonan Flat then follow the
Barrington Tops Forest Drive(?) and out via
Gloucester.
The question for the panel is: where do we overnight on this leg? It seems Polblue and Devil's Hole sites are popular. Does anyone have any comments/suggestions about those, or offer any other better locations?
Rig is as below (LC 100 and off-road camper).
Cheers,
Chris

Gidday Chris,
We recently did the trip to Barrington from the South on our way
home to
Coffs Harbour and really enjoyed our short stay at
Moonan Flat council run caravan park.
It's like no other that we had encountered.
Post Office administers things and it's very laid back indeed. Which is nice.
Costs wise $4 per head for a powered site, clean
toilets and hot showers. And the pub, which is a good one, is a 5 minute stroll from
camp. Howz that?
Also keep in mind that about now
Barrington Tops is getting fffffreezing.

Hi All!
Thanks very much for all those suggestions. We really appreciate them.
At the moment I think it looks like Polblue, but if it looks like autumn is arriving early (ie: any temp under 20!) then Wayne's suggestion of the
Moonan Flat CP may be a winner.
I cannot believe you can still get a site for $4 a head! It seems every NP site in NSW these days is costing $27 or so for the two of us ($10ea + $7 for the car). If it's even slightly chilly, the hot showers at
Moonan Flat will win over SWMBO every time. :-))
Thanks again from us both,
Chris & Sue
