Now this is what we were saving those extra days for. We love this place, a real favourite. For Chris it was especially nice and something he really wanted to do again. With his health situation we didn’t know if we would ever get the chance to stay here again together so wanted to do it while we could, putting aside as many days as possible.
There are approximately 5 free or donation camps in the Bingara area along the river. The town is lovely with lots of murals, shops, great parks, dump point and water filling.
We were fortunate to get a really good spot to ourselves for many days right on the river bank. Jess enjoyed a dip every day as did we. The water was a little cool, let’s say refreshing. We really enjoyed ourselves here, it was a time for us, especially for me driving those long km’s days at times to really unwind and relax. Dips in the refreshing water and campfires at night.
Beautiful spot overlooking the river

After 6 nights we reluctantly moved on. Stopping the night at Jennings Rest Area just inside NSW from Qld. There really isn’t much here but a good spot and popular spot one we have stayed at several times. The old train station and NSW/QLD border is only a short walk.
The station was a bit over run with grass and the trains were obviously not running. Talking to the visitor info centre at Stanthorpe we know this was due to a bridge issue from recent bush fires. Plans are in place to restore it and the have trains running again.
From here it was only 50 odd kms to our next destination. Again one Chris was particularly looking forward to.
Live Long and Prosper
