Bushy Parker Rest Area

The motor in the car barely warmed up on our travel northwards to our next camp at Bushy Parker RA located at Rollingstone. The entire distance from Toomulla RA was in the region of twelve kilometres. Rollingstone is also the road junction to reach Balgal Beach CP. The camping at Balgal Beach is very limited, therefore it is very difficult to find a vacant site this time of year.

Jude and I camped here some sixteen years ago, the RA didn't have a name back then and   accommodated around 100 caravans and you could stay as long as you wanted. Now the RA area, named after a local WW11 Spitfire Pilot Hero, is reduced by restrictive fencing and is limited to 30 caravans and 48 hour stay, although some seemed to disregard that requirement, most camp sites have reticulated water. Bushy Parker RA was at capacity each night we stayed there.

Across the railway line is The Rollingstone Hotel, we checked it out and it hasn't changed in any detail over those sixteen years, even has the same paint job.

This view looking towards the railway line, noise is not a problem though.
