John Oxley Caravan Park, Coonabarabran, 9 - 10 March 2011

Well folks, it is my turn to write the Blog so here goes.  We arrived in Coonabarabran NSW in the early PM, had 2 choices of C/P one at the south end of town or the John Oxley at the northern end.  We chose the latter 'cos the other one looked a bit daggy.  It is a nice open park at the south end of town on the Newell Hwy. Surprisingly, being right on the corner of the highway into town it was fairly quiet.  Unfortunately, the reception area looked like a bomb had gone off in it, there was  crap every where.  But the owners were very helpful so all was well.  Power, water and clean amenities, so every thing we needed for $26 a night.  Across the road from the C/P was a Gem shop full of all sorts of crystals and fossils (not counting me of course!!).  The lady who owned the shop was a wealth of info. The business is up for sale if anyone is interested.  We stayed in Coona. for 2 nights to catch up with washing and top up the water tanks before heading out to Lake Keepit Bush camp about 150 kms away.
