[Cuppa]

Folks, please bear in mind the ‘qualifier’ to the topic of campsites. It says

“anything to do with campsites from set up to view but must have a campsite in the pic”.

What constitutes a camp site is no doubt open to a degree of interpretation, but to remain in the spirit of the topic I suggest that the entry should include at least a part of the ‘living, sleeping or cooking facilities’ of the camp.

We have a few entries which do not meet this criteria. I apologise if the requirements were not clear & invite those entries to be edited/changed. To be fair to all & in particular to our last month’s winner who chose the topic, any entries which do not show campsites in the pic will not be included in the running regardless of how many votes they receive.

If you have any difficulty editing an entry, try deleting it & reposting with a new pic

Thanks
Cuppa

[Cuppa]

Welcome to the comp Mac73. As Toddie has stated, one entry per post , otherwise it makes it impossible for folk to vote for individual entries at the end of the month.

Please could you edit your post.

Also at risk of cheesing you off ..... this is the second time I’ve posted the following in this thread:

Just figured out why it looked familiar,
To me it looks like the Wenlock crossing at Cape York before they built the causway thing,
Down stream of the crossing instead of pebbles there was a big sandy area.
Lucky enough to catch my first Barra there too 800mm out of such a small body of water too

I took the family around Australia for 9 months in 2014 tow vehicle 2000 GU patrol 3.0 and van is Kokoda Battalion triple bunk. Amazing camp sites all the way round. This one is at St Lawrence Reserve.

Nice photochopping there Eric.... Can you get to that camp site with a normal car? Its been a very long time since I have been to that camp. Every Easter we go camping with my Sister inlaw a her family. They only have a Camry, so we are limited to where we can go.
I love going down to Sheepyards and Fry's and further upstream to Six mile but I dare not mention there as a suggestion to the missus. lol.

[Hodge]

Can you get to that camp site with a normal car? Its been a very long time since I have been to that camp.

The site in the photo is 2 river crossings away from the main "Running Creek" camp. And no chance you'll get there with a normal car. Even though water is shallow, especially in summer. There is large boulders in the river, so 4x4 is a must.... You can also come from the north, but there is some very steep tracks through jamieson to get to it.
But you will get to the main Running Creek camp site (large open family site), with a normal car with ease.

Hope this helps.
