7th December 2010 - Carcoar Dam Camp Spot – Blayney District NSW

Located 12k South West of Blayney and16k North East of Mandurama along a short distance in on a sealed road, Carcoar Dam has grassy, shady sites overlooking the lake and wind farm. The toilets are septic and cold showers are provided. For water enthusiasts there is a boat ramp and fishing is permitted. Further along the road is a further area where electric BBQ’s are located in a shelter shed. Although windy at times, we found this camping area pleasant enough to spend a few days.

21st November 2009 - Booberoi Weir - West of Condobolin

Located about 20k North East of Euabalong or 56k West of Condobolin, along Booberoi Road, the turn-off to the weir is opposite the Telstra Tower along a dirt track for about 1k until you come to about 50 metres before a bridge with a load limit of 2 Tonnes. Then turn left and proceed between the old pump houses to the level, well shaded camp site. A walk around the pump houses will give you an idea of the historical ways water was pumped out of the river using an old fire boiler. There are no facilities other than a rubbish bin at this site that we highly recommend for a quiet couple days of fishing and listening to the birds.

13th November 2009 - Dead Mans Point - Lake Cargelligo

Overlooking Lake Cargelligo is Deadmans Point, so named because of a drowning many years ago, where some shade is available in this sloping camp site well away from town. The composting toilet is a recent addition and a table and bins have been provided. Unfortunately, due to drought conditions, the lake was fairly low during our stay and dead Carp were littered along the edge of the lake. In the evening, a hundreds of Pelicans can be seen dining on fish. A return visit when the lake has recovered is on our list of places to return to when the drought ends

Located approximately 35k South East of Wyalong and 33k North West of Temora, Barmedman is a typical country town that has all that the traveller needs to spend a few days. There were no time limit notices and plenty of camp sites around the pool area that are level and well shaded. The large pool has ample grassy areas with tables, shade, cold showers, toilets, change rooms and BBQ’s. The town is within easy walking distance for a meal at the local hotel or take away. The pool opened for use during our stay, ready for the summer season and the school holidays. A donation box is just inside the pool area.
