My dear friend was visiting and wanted to go camping. However, we've had a particularly wet year in the Northern Rivers and this weekend was going to be no exception. But we found something so much better than we could have imagined.
It had rained so much that Peter had to drive us down in his all terrain vehicle.
We were greeted at the bottom of the hill by the cows, the sound of trickling water in the creek, and the only noise for miles was the sound of two excited, giggling females.
The shack is great! It has everything you need when you go completely off grid. The beds are comfortable, and let's face it, anything is better than a blow up. There is nothing like going to sleep to the sound of rain on a tin roof.
Even in the mud we managed to sit out by the fire, went for a swim in the creek, we did try to fish but I'm pretty sure they heard us coming.
There is a little phone reception, just don't expect to be streaming anything. We had Telstra, Optus and TPG and you just have to find the right spot.
They are not kidding when they say you need to be an experienced 4x4 driver. Being two adventurous country girls, we initially thought we could probably trek down when was closed to 4x4; yeah, nah! Don't even think about it. Besides, the buggy is more fun! Don't be put off by this though.
Tania and Peter have created a great little get away and we will definitely be coming back!
