FARQUHAR PARK | MUST SEE BEACHSIDE CAMPING ON THE NSW EAST COAST

Our first camping trip after selling our van! We pack the swags and hit the beach. Farquhar Park is like nothing else on the NSW East Coast. Join us as we escape to this coastal paradise, just a short drive down the beach from the township of Manning Point.
The fact that you can only access this spot via the beach sets the tone for an amazing getaway, filled with epic beach camping, missions in the new rooftop tinny "Lefroy" and getting bogged again 🙄
The weekend doesn't start well, as we have a small disaster before even getting there, but that's how all good adventures start, I think?
So grab a beer 🍺 and kick back as this is a good one!

    Well done again guys!!!! Getting amongst it, getting away, getting it right and getting it wrong. Hot tip for the tinny, the cheap beach umbrella from bunnings in a bit of PVC to the front seat works a treat and also fits sideways across the tinny at the back with 2 of your brackets to hold it in when on the roof. Keep doing what you do. Awesome

    Great vid... again. I havnt been to that one. Looks good. Thank you for sharing. Just up the road is Crowdy Head and Hat Head, also awsom little spots to check out. Hat Head is my favourite fishing spot in NSW. I'm a bit like you when it comes to fishing but ive done well many times at there. Couldn't agree more with the permit system NSW has. Qld is just as stupid. Really appreciate the honesty with the awning coming off, shows you've got integrity. There's not to many KZreadrs that show the embarrassing cock ups. It's how you learn, and we can all learn from. It's also entertaining and good to know, I'm not the only Wally who has the occasional cock up...😜🤣👍😊

    Hi Aaron Totally agree with the comment about paying $$$ for each beach location. It’s a rip off by local land councils. We pay enough in rates, road taxes and fishing licences . If they were to do it it should be a state wide fee and the govt share the funds with the land council. Cheers

    Excellent episode and thrilled that it was in our home state NSW. Love your set up and new tinny, makes us consider leaving our van at home. If you had a little offroad van would you take it there? Check out Myall Lakes NP and Mungo Brush, there are a few sites that are similar and we recently explored North Haven NSW which I know you guys would enjoy. Loved that you called your boat Lefroy, as we have just booked to stay at North Lefroy in the coming weeks. Happy days! Cheers Marg & Steve

    Good being honest about mistake. I stayed at Diamond head camp ground last year, from Vic and thought the same $60 a day beach permit is excessive, that being said you have great national park camping grounds in NSW. SA is only 4 hrs away for me and if you can get on a beach in SA you can drive on it, free !!

    Yes it was $60 for the permit and a few years ago Mid Coast Council jacked it up to $100, and since then the beach access has been neglected. Farquhar access was closed for a long time, same with Kylies beach access at the northern end of Crowdy Head beach was shut for 2 years. It's crap, and not only that you buy a 1 year permit today, it's only valid until the end of June and you get 4 months and have to buy another. Hastings is only $70 and has more beaches.
