Easter Camping Spot Runner-Up

Just wanted to get out more photos from our big camping trip in Easter. The weekends we spent driving across the countryside looking for a suitable camping spot was just as much fun as the camping trip itself. We must have done around 800klms over 3 weekends.

This is the first weekend looking at campsites. Here we are on our way to north of Bathurst and east of Sofala to check out a place called Turon Gates.

Most of it is on a dirt road that winds through the lush green hills studded with trees, sheep and farm houses.

The benefit of driving can be that you don't have to get out and open the gates. James opening one of a few  gates along this road. The gates are there to keep the sheep from wandering to the next paddock.

We stopped just beyond the gate on top of a ridge for morning tea and to let the dogs have a wander. The day was glorious and the views from here were superb.

We also saw lots of sheep and a few lambs.

Here we are entering Turon Gates camping area.

The place is dotted with many beautiful camping spots just like this. The down side is that you have to pay to camp, around $26 a night plus $6 for the dogs.

Well this will be somewhere we can g, sometime down the track, after we've tried out all the other free spots first.

Cheers,

Marieanne
