Looking for nice spot to camp

[mudge1]

Hi Guys
On the road up the Newell Hwy to pick up new Conqueror from Brissie
Thinking of pulling up for the afternoon somewhere between Goondiwindi & Toowomba
Any suggestions for a good bush camp in that region
Cheers

There is a nice free camp beside the creek in Allora and another at Rudds Pub in Nobby.  Good feed from the pub also.

Pub sounds tempting, might not make it that far.....will take a break for a couple of hours and see how I feel
Thanks for the local knowledge ?

A spot I was told of not long ago so I'm yet to visit.
It not free to camp($5) but the hot springs are.

I've bush camped in the Piliga just off the highway when on a quick run.
Looking at the park notes I'll explore it when I'm up there next.
The camp site there is free with few things on offer to see.

Not for me. The Piliga Princess might be hanging around

Forgot the link so I edited it into the post and added one more for good luck.

Talking to a bloke I used to work with awhile back. His Dad was a truckie back in 1940s-50s & Tony said he often told stories about weird things happening around Pilliga area - broken down cattle truck being found empty next morning with the cage bars ripped open; different spot - remains of dead cattle being found up a tree; sudden weird growling sounds & foul smell coming out of the bush when he's stopped for a quick pee. Reckoned most truckies wouldn't stop there in a pink fit. 

Please tell us more about the Princess

Ok, not ready to be ravished by the princess
Will keep driving
Anyone been to Mount Kaputar?
Hema has a couple of camps up there (fees) to look good, with showers

She passed away many years ago.

We stopped there on a day trip many(15?) years ago.
Sawn rocks is worth a look if you haven't seen that type of rock formation.
From memory caravans aren't to be towed up to the top/lookout area.

Another spot I wish to revisit and stay at(park fees apply)...

Checked in My Kaputar
No caravans
Great camping spot @ Bark Hut
Hot showers, flush toilets, lots of fire places, tables etc
Settled into the swag, next time I camp out will be Friday night in my new Conqeror 390 !!
Can't wait

nice, my boss has got a 390. She's in the process of swapping the tent with a Bundu tent (http://bundutec.com.au/rooftop-tents/bundutop/) and awning (http://bundutec.com.au/awnings/bundu-l/). Sick of poles apparently.

Heading down the coast towards Sydney, see how far we get
Looking forward to a quicker set up than the old one.....she has been a good intro to camping though #bigredbash

Yeah, saw that on a forum....watch something similar in a shop demo, pretty cool

I don't think they come with a manual, so take plenty of note during the hand-over (which is usually pretty good).

There is a fairly good source of info here- http://www.conquerorforum.com/

Cheers enjoy the new 390. great bit of kit
