FREEDOM CAMP OF THE MONTH
We had a perfect night . There was only one other camper , who was tucked around a corner . It is definitely a no-frills campsite , with just some concrete picnic tables and fireplaces marked out .
We should have brought the fishing rods – Whetstone Weir is stocked with golden perch , Murray cod and silver perch , and it ’ s suitable for small vessels and paddlecraft .
No matter , they cranked up the barbecue and we enjoyed a feast in front of the campfire . I walked to the road , where it is well signed that there is a 14-day limit .
We did receive a couple of honks from passing truckies who had no doubt spotted our fire .
Photographers and bird enthusiasts would also find much to like about the location .

FACILITIES AND FEATURES
It was an early start ( thanks to the birds ), but we had enough time to enjoy a cooked breakfast , warming our toes by the fire , slowly waking up to the Macintyre Brook River before we were off auditing more sites .
