RE: Northern Rivers: Where rain forest and beaches meet

Definitely make note of those camping spots like you mentioned. Looks like the perfect place to stop and stay. I just came back from a camping trip with a roof top tent. Would like to camp in those areas you've been.

Yeah, we're always on the scout for good camping spots. Australia is a big place though and it would impossible to know al the good ones. The best ones are kept very secret...I have a few, mostly on private land, massive stations.

Roof top tent...I've used a few in my day but have never chosen to have one. I tow a serious off-road camper that will go anywhere I take the 4x4 - Fully Aussie built and bloody awesome...And probably a little bit too comfortable to be honest! 😂

The thing is though...I don't care what people use as long as they get out there and get some! Seems like you do...I just checked your blog...I'm going to follow you and see what I find. (Also, I just left a comment on your post about the rooftop tent.)

Thanks for your comment, for looking at my post...I appreciate it.

Mate that sounds great and yeah Aus has a tonne of places. Im not gona pretend I know them but will say my evenings are spent watching all the Aussie 4x4 youtube channels that are out and about filming their adventures. You might have heard of them... Ronny Dahl, All 4 Adventure, Patriot Games and 4x4 24/7 - some great trips on their channels.
It does seem a little different out there though from where I am in Thailand - its a bit of a free for all here - if theres a track - just go. Fewer restrictions and regulations but the country is a lot smaller and you are never really that far from the nearest town or concrete road. Would like a real outback trip or up to those mountains on the SE part of the country.

Cheers for the comments will take a look

Yep, I heard of all those, and have even met Jase and Simon from All4 Adventure once at a 4x4 show. I used to work for ARB Australia. (arb.com.au)

The better part about it is that I've done the trips!

Lol, no way, a couple of legends there and working for ARB would have been pretty cool. Ill have a look through your post feed in a moment - have you got any of your 4wd trips written up?

Yeah, I worked there for a while...Was enjoyable to seek people stuff for their off-roaders and talk about four-wheeling, camping and hunting all day. (I'm a shooter, which you'll see if you go through my feed). I have a shooting community also, called The Pew.

I've put a few posts about off road stuff, camping trips and all,also my equipment...Scroll far enough and you'll see them, but keep in mind I've posted over 2000 posts since June 2017 so...You better like scrolling! 😁

I've currently got the current Toyota 200 series (the V8 twin turbo one) which I'm still building up. Got some gear on though, and use it.

I see you have a Hilux. Good truck. My last truck was a 2016 XLT Ranger. I went mad with stuff on that...$25,000 of stuff if I'd paid retail. I only paid $9,000 though. 😊 One of the perks of working at ARB, not paying for installation and getting free stuff from suppliers like GME, Rhino Rack, REDARC, BF Goodrich etc.

Literally the dream job with all the perks lol. There's not many V8s here unless they are custom jobs and you have have a much wider choice of pickups trucks, we only have the Hilux, none of the ** series and no front axle trucks are sold unless customs jobs!

You have the D-Max right? Izusu. My brother has one and puts it to good use. I've had a couple. Decent trucks.

Thank you for your engagement on this post, you have recieved ENGAGE tokens.
