The Warrumbungle National Park, ‘Blackman Camp No.2’. We had the place to ourselves which was fantastic. There is an amenities block, well designated camping areas, no water or power but that’s no problem, great internet and phone coverage due to the close proximity of Siding Spring Observatory.

2013 wildfires followed a few weeks later by devastating floods changed the landscape of this magnificent place but could not take away the magic and beauty of the Warrumbungle’s.
