Welcome to LIFE OUTSIDE WORK! We are a family of four making the most of our “life outside work (and school)” by travelling and exploring Australia every chance we get!

YouTube

We are back with another Episode! This time with a day trip to the Watagans!!

This area has so much to discover and you can easily spend a day exploring the waterfalls, lookouts and walks. The lookouts are a great spot to pull up and have a picnic lunch with views as far as the eye can see!

Have you been? If not, we hope we give you some inspiration to get down there soon and explore it for yourself!

GOOGLE MAPS LINK shows the loop we did: https://goo.gl/maps/iR1ro2BxxCNcQMqYA

We hope you enjoy!

Cheers
Justin, Selina, Caitlin & Tyler 🙂

FREE CAMPING + EXPLORING CREEKS, WATERFALLS & CAVES | MID NORTH COAST NSW | Weekend Escapes EP 1!!

YouTube Video UCLcNx--bLLgCeOeVSlAcUYA_YuHZplHVEPQ

Mamanga Campground is in Yanga National Park, around 5 minutes south of Balranald in NSW.

This is a beautiful low cost camp on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River.

On our way out of Mamanga Campground we stopped off at YANGA WOOLSHED for a wander.

The Woolshed was built in the late 1800s and was once the largest woolshed in the district and today, it is open for visitors to wander through and discover the history of the shearing days in the area.

Enjoy our look around!

SOUTH AUSTRALIA | ROAD TRIP HIGHLIGHTS

YouTube Video UCLcNx--bLLgCeOeVSlAcUYA__NmJD1rgBgE

Brewarrina is in Outback NSW between the towns of Walgett and Bourke.

And we found this beautiful free camp on the Barwon River.

Four Mile Reserve has plenty of space, shade and there are toilets and showers at the boat ramp if you need them.

Make sure you don’t just pull up in the asphalt carpark, turn along the dirt road and there’s plenty of space along the river.

FREE CAMPING ON THE BARWON RIVER | FOUR MILE RESERVE BREWARRINA NSW

YouTube Video UCLcNx--bLLgCeOeVSlAcUYA_jM_sLZtuhww

This is Bulga Recreation Ground and it is 20 minutes south west of Singleton in the Hunter Valley Region of NSW.

This is a large free camping area with a new playground, toilets and it is pet friendly.

We had a quick overnight stay here on the first night of our recent trip out west. It’s a great spot and definitely somewhere we will come back to for a weekend.

✈️🌳 Hidden away amongst the trees in the Watagans is the remains of a 1962 Cessna that crash landed on Easter Sunday back in 2000.

Apparently just after leaving Cessnock Airport the plane had mechanical issues and the pilot managed to somewhat safely bring her down into the trees!

Amazingly, all three occupants escaped without major injury!

There’s plenty of graffiti all over the plane these days and the wings are detached from the cabin... but it is there if you want to check it out!

📍 near Watagans HQ Camping Area (WikiCamps shows the location... pics in comments below.)

🌿💦 Boarding House Dam Walking Track 💦🌿

📍 Watagans National Park (just over an hour south of Newcastle NSW)

An easy 700 metre walk along the creek through a lush rainforest with moss covered boulders, waterfalls and a 120 metre long moss covered wall 💚

Boarding House Dam is a very popular picnic area with plenty of shade, tables, bbqs and toilets and you can cool off in the refreshing water on a hot day!

ℹ️ The area was established in the early 1850’s as a logging camp.
ℹ️ The dam was built in 1952 for fire fighting and recreational use.

The Watagans has quite a bit to discover and you can easily fill in a day exploring the walks, waterfalls and many lookouts.

🍃 NEWBYS CAVE WALKING TRACK 🍃

A short wander along the crystal clear Newbys Creek in Coorabakh National Park will bring you to these gorgeous natural caves.

Cross the creek at the first cave and continue along a few hundred metres to the next one!

It’s a pretty little walk through the rainforest 🌿

This weekend we were at this beautiful #freecamp in Coopernook State Forest.

🌳 Coopernook Forest Park is on the Mid North Coast of NSW, just north of Taree.

We’ve explored some beautiful places today that had us wandering through lush green rainforest trails to see stunning fresh water streams, waterfalls and caves.

This was first on our list this morning ⤵️

💦💙 WAITUI FALLS 💦💙

Waitui Falls is hidden away in Comboyne State Forest, around an hour north of Taree on the Mid North Coast.

The short walking track takes you down to the waterfall and the gorgeous crystal clear swimming holes.

There’s around 10kms of unsealed road through to the falls and this starts just after the township of Hannam Vale when you turn onto Waitui Road.

The signpost is “Waitui Falls” painted on a tree so probably best to pop it into your GPS so you know when to start looking out for it.

Happy Friday 🥂🍻

We are back in the van for a quick weekend away!

We’ll show you where we are and what we get up to over the next couple of days! 🌳💦🔥
