FREEDOM CAMP OF THE MONTH
One of the last camps we checked out during our four-month adventure around New South Wales , Victoria and South Australia was the pet-friendly Ponto Falls .
Don ' t expect a waterfall ; however , you will find the beautiful Macquarie River . And you will be spoilt for choice , with campsites right along this river !
There is plenty of room , with shaded campsites extending for hundreds of metres along the river . You will also find a toilet and dump point towards the end of the road .
However , this is where a rough road drops down to a large , flat riverbank . You ' ll find sunny spots – all absolutely waterfront !
There is a 14-day stay limit . Be sure to bring your kayak ! We loved checking out the ducks and cows as I paddled along the river .
Also visit nearby Wellington . We love the Lion of Waterloo Hotel and rate its mixed grill so highly that we returned for another serve ! Plus , we ' re told it is the oldest licensed hotel , still operating , west of the Blue Mountains . In fact , our Camps Australia Wide guides have loads of free-camps available in this historic region – and they are also beauties , just like Ponto Falls !
