I suppose it probably near Bathurst or out that way. We are not far from jenolan caves.
As an avid camper and outdoor enthusiast, I've tried a variety of grills over the years. I was a Traeger+ user until I switched to Asmoke and it's been a game-changer. The convenience and versatility of the Asmoke grill is unparalleled. The precise temperature control ensures perfect cooking every time, regardless of the weather conditions. I love that it uses wood pellets - the different flavors add a unique touch to the meals. The compact size and battery-powered feature make it perfect for camping trips. I've grilled, smoked, roasted and even baked with it, all with excellent results. The transition from Traeger+ to Asmoke has been smooth and I wouldn't change it for anything. Next time I'm camping in Pine Forest, I'm definitely bringing my Asmoke grill with me. #Asmoke

All appeared to be distant enough even if not buddies, just provided the ambiance isn't ruined by distasteful over the top music, all good, you'll meet lots of lovely like minded people's in locations like that. But then there's the total opposite, we camped up in SA on a clearing with just one other couple on the distance otherside of clearing to us. By dark all their mates arrived but they were courteous played easy listening music at a nominal volume BUT around 1am a hole new group came in filling the space surrounding us, totally foreign language at high volume, then the most hideous loud music until dawn, Now That's Rude. I can't pick nationalities but these people were annoying to say the least. That's annoyance !!! Cheers from Darwin, furthest thing from cold up here presently, I'm not minding the break from the cold down there at all, kids relaying how cold it is to us regularly.

Thanks mate, thats fair but imagine if i gave the location out to some of these spots, im not worried about my subscribers obviously but its others just searching KZread for spots. There is increasing pressure on a few spots around. Also i get backlash the other way when people find out i have been somewhere they are messaging me saying i hope your not putting that on KZread so i cant really win either way. But this spot for example if you go to my video description i name the state forest and its not that big and if you jump on google earth im sure you’ll find it in 5 minutes. Some spots i don’t give the location to as well depending on the difficulty of getting there as i dont want to be responsible for someone damaging their vehicle. I hope this helps you understand the spot im in. Cheers Shad
