If you've got a fourby try Big Bend, quite a few places to chose from for camping and plenty of places to fish. Some big bloody red claw too.

A few mates and I are heading out towards Fletchers/Big Bend over this long weekend. I dare say it's going to be packed but I'nm sure we'll find a nice quite spot out of the way.
