Wollemi National Park

Less than 100kms from Sydney, the Wollemi National Park is a great weekend destination. Fantastic camping and walking opportunities in NSW's largest wilderness area.

One of my favourite places.

NPWS have done a lot of work in the last two years with the help from the Subaru 4WD Club.

The drive over Nullo Mountain into Widden Valley is a very picturesque trip as well. however there are two private properties that you require permission to access to get through.

Hi Gone Bush

Hope you are having a great trip. The photos look like a very picturesque place. Is that your new van you are towing. If it is how is it travelling.

Regards

David

And I like your quote from the KLF - one of my listening tapes.

Thanks David,

yes, we are all bound for MooMoo Land....

David and Trevor, the new van is exceptional. So well built it was worth the interesting purchase experience. It and the 200 series work together beautifully. It's just a delight to tow and to live in.

We are in Cowra at the moment then heading to Canberra then to Temora for the airshow. Trying to avoid the hot weather with not much success.

Hi Gone Bush

We spent a couple of days at Dunn's Swamp, then went to Glen Davis a bit further south. The latter is the site of a former Shale Oil extraction and processing facility with remnants covering a huge area butting into the Wollemi NP. The tiny community in what is practically a ghost town offer a free campsite complete with hot showers.

Glad the van is going well.
