Great read Doc, I was just the other day planning a road trip up through that region and up through the border ranges for a looksee, some great looking country up through there and some interesting history as well. :Y:

Heatho, you can drive from the QLD Border all the way down to Kempsey via back roads... It's one of the Best drives you can do on the East Coast in a 4x4.. Plenty of great camps and Gold Spots along the way to keep you occupied... :)

if You look for good things you find more of them.

My beautiful week was ;

Feeling the sun shining on my back after doing underground shifts for 2 weeks and forgetting what it felt like.

Watching my friends 2 year old kid when she bites into a mandarin for the first time as uncertainty in her face turns to joy and infectious giggles.

Sitting in the bush with no other sounds of human existence and listening to a lyrebird singing its heart out.
