7th September 2011 - Stephens Creek Rest Area

Approximately 50k South of Broken Hill and 57k North of Menindee on the Menindee / Broken Hill Road is Stephens Creek. This small area suitable for an overnight stay, is level and shaded. Although there are no facilities, it is worth a stop to have a walk along the river bed and give the legs a bit of a stretch. A good spot between Menindee and Broken Hill to have a cuppa.

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.

29th November 2010 - Ellenborough Falls – Elands - NSW

Approx 39k North of Wingham and South West of Port Macquarie are the Ellenborough Falls. These falls are the second highest in Australia and are worth the trauma of driving over approximately 10k of shocking dirt road from Wingham. The dirt access road via Comboyne is twice as long and twice as rough and is definitely a NO NO. At the top of the falls is a parking area with septic toilets, tables, shelter shed and bins that is suitable for an overnight stay as long as it is not a week end or during the school holidays. There are steps to the top of the falls, a viewing platform and two longer walks to the bottom of the falls. (500m and 700m). On the weekends and school holidays there is a kiosk that is open for refreshments. The nearby town of Elands consists of one shop (no fuel) so be prepared food / water wise.
