Hi @Fuzzy welcome to the forum, last year when at Airley Beach we stay just down the road at Cannonvale next to Club Crocodile Resort called Seabreeze Tourist Park 234 Shute Harbour Rd Cannonvale Ph 49466379. Once back in NSW Woody Head Camp Groung in Bundjalung NP was good, Smokey Cape CG in Hat Head NP is basic bush camping behind the beach, Diamond Head CG at Crowdy Bay NP is lovely and not far from Bonny Hills.
Hi there @Bonners, The forum certainly is informative and friendly, re CP in Cowra there are 2, 1 is in town close to the main st and seems to nearly always have a lot of vans in there. I have heard a lot of people come back because of how clean the park and facility's are, and is owned by the local shire council. The other CP is out of town around 3kms, I don't know a lot about it but it looks nice and tidy. It is next to a war museum which has a lot of old things to look at. I hope this helps
welcome Fuzzy, hope the lads at Jayco Canberra looked after you.
Kidman's at Bourke is a good spot, try to arrive early and be sure to take a trip on the Paddle wheeler down the back.
Just beware turning in/out of Kidman's as it on the main road north and is a "ROAD TRAIN" route up to 3 trailers long at that point and still cranking at 80+ as they pass. Bourke is where they break the trucks back to 2 trailers to head into NSW or add the 3rd to head north, its interesting watching them reverse during hitch up at the truck parking bay just down the road.

Hi there @Bushman, thanks for the welcome, we intend to stay at kid man's and I've read nothing but good reports about it. Do you recommend doing or seeing anything else in bourke, we're only there one night. BTW thanks for tip on road trains.
There's a few MUD MAP tours around town, the one of the riverbank (north side of town) is pretty good. Or the ECO Tour at the Visitors Centre (Back-O-Bourke) you pass it on the way to Kidmans.
Clairview, Carmila Beach, Notch point, Cape Palmeston are all on the Coast. Lake Elphinstone out near Moranbah. Adventure Whitsunday Big4 at Cannonvale. A lot of these are free camping areas as well as the option of a van park. Depends on wether you are free camping or staying in Van Parks.
