What you think?

Hi Adam

I've never camped at the 'campsites' up in the Watties, I've always just found a space in the bush - there's a few around which are excellent and have well established fire sites. No facilities but that's the way we like it....peace and quiet and we keep them respectfully clean (and always take home any rubbish we find).

I'll check the MudMaps app this evening as I've dropped a couple of pins up there so can suggest locations. There a great spot up towards the Quorrobolong end up on the ridge top with a sensational view to the north east whihc we named 'Poms Look Out' after taking a load of my English friends up there when they were visiting....and there's another favourite spot down in the middle of the forest, just off a junction of two trunk roads....a delightful grassy patch we call 'Easter Bunny Point' after the weekend that we went up there first.

Bobby.
That sounds great thanks.
Not sure of numbers yet but from the interest I might say around 8-10 campers.

I could be in...

Just wondering if the route plan would enable a camper trailer to be towed? A good nights sleep is the key for SWMBO!

Cheers,

Pete :>)

Not sure of route as yet. I'm still in planning stages.
Do not plan on doing anything to rough and will keep trailers in mind when sorting out a route.

Righto, apologies for the delay folks.

A couple of good camping areas which I've used for years. No facilities at either but they're nice wee spots.

Poms Look Out!
-32.9729, 151.3716
This is a great spot and we can easily park 5 or 6 vehicles plus there's a larger area for tents. Smashing views to the north and north east. Very easy access from Heaton Road or from Watagan Forest Road.

Easter Bunny Point
-33.0906, 151.3586
A nice grassy area, good for 5 vehicles, maybe 6 but if people are using tents there's heaps of room. Very easy access and a pleasant spot for a camp. Good for stargazing as there's a big clearing.

Very happy to go to any of the actual organised sites with facilities, I'm just throwing in a couple of options from places I've stayed with my friends before.

Bobby

Thanks Bobby.
Just thinking of the people that are coming on Sunday just for the day trip. We might need to make the meeting place something more well known.
