DEC17-18 Headed back towards Tamworth to go to Woolies and to Bunnings car park (to borrow some interwebs) we applied to a few jobbies and figured out where to head next. We ended up at Cockburn River Campsite near Kootingal in NSW and just by chance the same bloke (Greg) from Attunga was here too….we assured him that it was just a coincidence and we weren't stalking him haha. There was only one other bloke at the campsite (Steve), who was going through a toug...

DEC 16 - So it was time to leave Leconfield!! L We packed up everything, had brekky and headed into Tamworth……where we ended up bumping into some friends from the course, so we ended up having lunch with them too (at an all you can eat buffet).

We got all our stuff set up and then a bloke (Greg) walked over and told us there was a Christmas raffle (money raised goes to t...

We went to Woolies and the bottlo to get supplies before driving out the Leconfield farm which is about half hour from Tamworth. The rest of the day we just sat around and waited for the rest of the people to arrive on the bus which had broken down, th...

DAY 4 - Headed for Lake Keepit, found an awesome camping spot that had been looked after by a local fisherman group. They had an undercover area with tables & chairs, showers and a long drop. It was a bloody hot day so we were thankful to be next to the Lake!! We got chatting with the other people camping there: Andy, Matt, Beau, William and Buster the Dog. They were all locals from around the area and often went to Lake Keepit to camp & fish. We ended u...
