camping.A link to the local paper attached.(Hope it works) if not go to Northern Star Lismore.

Hi Sharna,
I'm about 100 k's south of Lismore as the crow flies and I can tell you it is as wet as a Shag, It would not take much for it to flood. And with the weather system that we have at the moment the chances of that are very high.
Give the
local tourist information guys a ring.
They will be able to help you more.
Cheers

However if you head to the other Lismore the weather will be much better

Links not working but I gather it's a small town in Victoria.
Somehow it doesn't hold the same attraction that a big party in Lismore does... haha.
But thanks for the suggestion
