    im keen, definitely in.

    after speaking to Rocket55 hes advised me that Newnes is by far the best campsite, and gives us plenty of access to many tracks and scenic drives around the area.

    check out the campground and the area here
    I got red dust in my veins.

    You reckon it will have enough room with all others from Sydney or it's pretty safe to push in, make loads of noise and push the others out??? hahha

    Newnes is an awesome spot to camp especiaĺly for large groups.
    The big camp ground at very end of the road is probably the best for big groups but there are plenty of other spots on either side of the river.

    Its about a half hour drive back to the top of the plateu where there are pretty good tracks in any direction you take.

    I grew up about half an hour away from the wolgan valley and spent god knows how many days camping around there newnes is still one of my favorite places ive ever been.

    Maybe I might have to go home for a visit my oldies around oz day

    It's a pretty huge area. If you turn right at Newnes pub (which is not a pub...) and go over the creek you only compete with other 4by drivers as the soft readers will stay in the main park. Even over on the 4by side it's still 5 plus footy fields in size. Here's couple of pics of the camp grounds on the 4wd side of the creek. The creek crossing is not hard, the last few times I've done it in 2wd, but it's enough to keep the dunnydoors and Lasers out. Here's a couple of pics of previous outings there.







    Here's a quick clip of a the creek crossing in 2wd, pretty straight forward.

    Here's a shameless plug from another site, but I'm yet to find a better post identifying all the tracks around the area.
