Thanks very much for the replies we'll definitely take the advice given , it's cool and cloudy today great day to explore caves and rivers , we'll stay a bit here and then check out
places like Eden and Ulladalla and slowly head up the coast .

If you are heading up the coast I would highly recommend turning right in Cann River and heading down to
Point Hicks in Croajingalong National
Park.The Thurra or Mueller River Campgrounds are isolated, beautiful and a tour of the lighthouse is a highlight.

Gday,
Lake Tyers is a great place to
camp with a
young family. Remember to keep your spear guns packed away, they are illegal in the waters surrounding (check fisheries site). Great fishing in the lake as
well.
Camp down the
trident track or a couple of other tracks nearby, don't
camp at the glasshouse area with your dog as paralysis ticks are in these areas particularly in the tea trees near
the beach. Use Advantix or similar and check your dog over daily especially in and around the ears, collar, tail and its privates. I lost my best little mate to these nasty buggers after
camping here a few years back.
Hope this helps
