This free camp is provided by the Wagga Wagga Council for self-contained vehicles.
It has toilets, but no showers and it has a dump point and also a separate tap for potable water.

11/04/15 - Wagga Wagga - NSW
Quiet day today, bit of shopping in the morning, then lunch back in the 5'er.
After lunch went in to town again and spotted this American Clipper Motorhome, nicely restored.
At a guess it dates from the 50s or 60s.
Then on to the Wagga Art Gallery which houses the National Art Glass Gallery,
Decided to stay another day in Wagga, very nice camp spot and a lovely town.
10/04/15 - Bendigo - Wagga Wagga NSW
Left this morning on what hopefully will be our longest trip yet.
Heading north through NSW then in to Queensland where we will be attending the Maleny Wood Expo, from there we travel to Maryborough-Qld, then we will probably go further north.
Today we travelled from home to Wagga Wagga where we were not that long ago to attend the passing put parade of our grandson Aaron, a very moving Air Force ceremony it was too.
Aaron is now an Air Force police officer, posted to Edinburgh SA.
We are camped at Wilks Park in Wagga Wagga on the Murrumbidgee River, will try and post some photos tomorrow.
10/11/14 - Echuca Vic
Visited Echuca, about 40km NE of Lockington, last time we visited here we still lived in Adelaide, back in the 80s. It sure has changed a lot, like so many other places we visit now after many years it has become really "touristy". IMHO it has lost its' charm.
Anyway, we had a good time and took some nice photos.

9/11/14 - Lockington Vic
Next we moved to
Lockington, where we had never been before, quite an interesting little
town with a very nice Travellers Rest low cost camping facility, managed
by a lovely helpful lady, Dorothy.
A different idea for the bathrooms.
I bet Scotland can't compete with this "monster"
Some nice old buildings in Lockington, this is worth visiting.

6-8/11/14 - Rochester Vic
Of on our first trip after all the excitement of purchasing and getting things organised. Stayed relatively close to home as this is really more of a "shake down" trip to make sure things are as they should be.
First stop Rochester in the Rochester Caravan Park on the banks of the Campaspe River.
Quite a nice little park with a fair percentage of permanents in both caravans and cabins, but kept neat and tidy.
Rochester was the birthplace of Sir Hubert Opperman, the famous Australian road cycle champion.
The Rochester Railway Station is also the Visitor Information Centre.

Sept-Oct '14 - Changes and additions
Next came the task of getting our 5th wheeler, now named Miandrin (a combination of the names of our 3 children), set up the way we wanted.
New name on the back.
Even though there was a space for a microwave, it was not supplied with one, so picked up a simple model that fitted in with the rest of the decor on Ebay (new).
There was a couch supplied (real American thing!), but one of the reasons we wanted a 5th wheeler was so that we could have recliners and sit in comfort, something sadly lacking in our previous caravan (and most caravans on the market).
Also installed some easier locking pins on the electric legs, the ones supplied were very hard to operate, so I imported some spring loaded ones from the US.
As we like camping away from caravan parks, solar power is essential, so a solar panel was added (similar to the one on our previous van).
Of course this had to be wired via a suitable solar regulator to the existing battery.
As we now have both grey water and black water tanks we needed a suitable means to empty these. Imported some snazzy concertina hoses with a bayonet fitting that clicks straight on the gate valve of these tanks.
When we used this for the first time it became obvious that a means of flushing was needed, so another visit to Amazon produced this handy gadget.
Another of the advantages of the Space Cab is the extra room in the tub which allowed the installation of a fairly large lockable toolbox. This now holds all the tools, recovery gear and things like extra jacks etc.
