I must say that I personally am starting to adore this way of life. A sense of freedom has overtaken me. This has been enhanced by my decision to take a few weeks off from fundraising and just 'being' in the moment, and may I say there have been some fun moments.
I will list our stopover places in a timeline since our last post...
After leaving Red Head, we travelled to Wingham. We spent three nights there free camping on the river. It was a lovely place, although some of the locals were a tad 'out there'. As I was reversing the van into it's position, another camper decided to 'try' and guide me. I appreciate the efforts but all he did was confuse me with his somewhat garbled directions. Needless to say I levelled and parked in a corner with temperate rainforest on two sides.
During our time there, I walked through the town and also successfully tried fishing. I caught a flathead, legal size and it was delicious. It seems I was the first person to actually catch anything for over a week....yayyy me.

Next stop Coopernook Hotel:
Two nights here were lovely, despite being lead into a deadend by "dora the explorer" (satnav) on the way. I am so proud that I was able to turn the rig around successfully lol.
This is a free camp as well behind a lovely old pub on the edge of a river.
From here we went to Wauchope and stayed for a couple of nights and then to Frederickton Golf Club, where we were the only van on the place. Sadly the restaurant wasn't open on the Sunday night we were there so I popped into the clubhouse and bought a couple of 'chardy's'...was a quiet stpot and again free.
Lastly we arrived at a farm stay which I discovered online almost 9 months ago. Located at Eungai Rail, Madrigal Farm was a pure delight. They only take two vans or campers at a time, I arrived early and took advantage of power for the three nights we were there. Peaceful, serene and surrounded by native bushland and wildlife. The livestock on the farmlet kept me thoroughly amused, especially the chickens as you will see in the following photos and videos...
