Hotel Camping

Free camp beside the historic Noccundra Hotel and waterhole, Queensland

If you are driving between Thargomindah and Eromanga or on route to Camerons Corner or The Dig Tree – make sure you stop off at Noccundra Hotel. Wilson River Camp QLD We would have happily stopped at the peaceful Wilson River Camp or Noccundra Waterhole. You can fish and swim on this tributary of Coopers Creek. You might even catch yabbies in winter! Council toilets and showers are near the pub, just 200m from the waterhole. You’ll also find a tennis court, playground, BBQ and picnic facilities there. Remember to BYO firewood, and your pets are welcome. Instead, we dined

Camping Food

On the verandah at the Mt Warning Hotel, Uki, New South Wales

We thoroughly recommend this lovely pub with friendly staff at Uki. Arriving late (we lost an hour crossing the border into NSW), fortunately the pub was still open for meals. I snagged a table on the verandah, and sipped our cold drinks whilst we waited for lunch to arrive. My niece said it was, ‘the best chicken schnitzel I had in a long time’. Real chicken breast – and the gravy is included. Likewise, our son loved his pizza, the rest of us ate the yummy schnitzels as well. I had our choice of two sides – for example: spuds,

Destinations

Top Aussie Pubs: the Ganmain Hotel

Our road trip to the snow, we planned to stop a night within an hour or two of Albury. Ganmain is almost south of West Wyalong – two towns we had never driven through, something we love to do – is travel on roads unknown to us. This night we hit the jackpot! Firstly the winter sunset was AMAZING. It was a huge day in the car, so as the five of us tumbled out, a good meal was on our mind. The Ganmain Pub is not pretentious. There’s a friendly main bar – busy that night. Also opening to

Nestled In this beautiful district in northern NSW, the Imperial is a traditional country hotel offering old fashioned pub meals, a yarn or two from the locals and we hear that the food is excellent. On a hot day, there’s a cool beer garden to relax in and the hotel is close to the centre of town, bowling club, swimming pool and tennis courts. Owners

Caravan Parks

Top towns: Valla Beach, New South Wales

We discovered a little gem, on a recent trip back from the snow: Valla Beach, NSW. Interestingly, we’re told it is half way between Sydney and Brisbane, just off the Pacific Highway. Stay at Valla Beach Tourist Park The local caravan park is NSW site 550 in Caravan Parks 5 or find it on the Camps Australia Wide App. it was the perfect stop over. We stopped at a quiet cabin on this trip. Although basic, it had all the essentials. There was plenty of space on the grounds, surrounded by bush, but it is further away from the shops
