If you’ve got a telescope, bring it along or just enjoy the Milky Way in all its glory with the naked eye. https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/camping-and-accommodation/campgrounds/camp-blackman There is an amenities block, picnic tables, barbecue facilities, drinking water, public phone, showers, toilets at Camp Blackman Other Information Needed: Each person will need to book their own site via the National Parks website. Please book in early and confirm with Houssayne via text once you have booked your site.

These stops will be flexible based on needs on the day.

  What:	Base camping at Nhulumbuy and Lorella Springs. At Nhulumbuy you will have the option to partake in day trips or to do your own thing. Lorella Springs will be a mixture of day trips and overnight stays to the more remote locations on the property or you may want to relax in the thermal pools at base camp instead. Nhulumbuy and Lorella Springs base camps include full amenities along with options to purchase meals. The remaining camp sites range from no facilities to full facilities. As Nhulumbuy and its surrounds become more popular along with its low number of campsites we have been advised to book asap. Areas outside of the township are controlled by the Dhimurru Aboriginal Corporation and such require a permit to access including their campsites which attract additional fees, both are nonrefundable and nontransferable. Minimum fuel range required 550km. If there is enough interest, we can hold a meeting to run through the itinerary and answer any questions. You can contact Michael directly for a more detailed itinerary. A second group of 6 can run parallel if numbers require.
