So we didn't move on from Bretti Reserve,
It was lovely to just chill out and wind down at such a peaceful spot for a few days.
We arrived here on Monday afternoon after stopping for a cuppa and a pie for lunch at Gloucester. A short visit to the information centre reassured us of our correct direction. Bretti Reserve is about 25 minutes north of Gloucester on Thunderbolts Way, although driving at our speed it took approximately 35 minutes. After passing Leslie Creek the turn off is over the next rise on the right, you can't miss seeing the caravans down by the river.
We were lucky enough to have great weather, warm days with warm breezes. The camp site is a very large expanse of land surrounded by rolling hills. Many caravans and rv’s are camped here but not to close to each other.
Dodging the cows, cow patties and fire places we looked for a suitable level site with just a short walk to the upper Manning River. The river is flowing and the water looks very clean, you could possibly boil it to drink but we just used it for our shower and washing up.
It’s very quiet here with
the sound of the breeze through the trees and lots of bird song. Keep an eye on the cows as they like to rub themselves on or chew parts of your car or caravan.
Our afternoon siesta's are fantastic, getting the fire started and the Billy boiling, not the usual thing done at home and plenty of reading caught up with during the day makes for lazy relaxed girls, that's including Ruby.
While down by the river I seen my first ever wild Platypus swimming across the river.
