Bingara on the Gwyder


Yowie at Tooloom Falls!
After we left Brisbane we headed south to Bingara in northern NSW. On our way to Bingara we stopped over for two nights at Tooloom Falls free camp near Urbanville just over the NSW border. Nice spot next to the falls but a little close to civilization and thus frequented by younger folk in tents. We didn’t have any noise whilst staying there but has the potential for loud parties.  Didn’t spot any Yowies (Click Here)  but you could hear them rustling through the bush at night !


Bingara (Click Here) is a beaut little town on the northern  end of the New England Highlands in NSW. There are three free camping areas at Bingara – two are close to town and one  5 Kms out of town. All are on the Gwyder River  and all are great spots.

We stayed at the free camp near the boat ramp which was about a kilometer from town. Great spot – grassed spots near the river, and only a few minutes away from town. The folk in town were true country folk friendly, helpful and happy to have a chat.





Murray Cod on surface lure!
Also the local fishing clubs stock the river with Murray Cod and Gloden Perch. So in went the tinny and I was lucky enough to catch three cod on lures.





Gwyder River - Boat Ramp
Two were legal (55cm) and one just under. Cooked up one to share with friends camped next to us – bloody good tucker!






Chilling out with friends - way to go!

Bingara is a great place that goes out of its way to make grey nomads welcome – highly recommended.
