Ngallo

Original tyre, this place is a gem in the bush

We stopped here for the Easter long weekend, and as a bonus were rewarded with the site to ourselves!!! What a lovely find, free camping at its best. Ngallo Park is actually an old tennis club from the 1940's (ish maybe), and they just leave it open for you to use. The courts are non existent, there are trees pushing up through what is left of them anyways, there is no power, the loo's pretty iffy (in fact Nick was worried that I may have to pull him out of a pile of crap, as there was ply wood floor over the drop) but running water and shelter for us was available. We didn't need the shelter, although the sky was quite grey, we managed to sneak thru the weekend without thunder or rain! There was this little guest book and it had in it signatures dating back to 1986, and it had repeated visitors who would refer to their past entry's in this book. We loved it, the vibe of the place, and its not often that you can come across spots like this that are well kept, and not trashed. The shelter inside was well stocked (and clean), with candles and crockery, was nice to stretch out. There were even some board games!!




We had such a good first night that we decided that we could stay here another night to enjoy it and unwind a little bit more. The starts put on a show, which was surprising as it was quite overcast through the day.

We had some visitors the second night, but they were friendly enough and on there way back to
Victoria after a break in SA. We shared a few stories and then they set up and appeared to have an early night, while Nick and I watched some more breaking bad.

When we did  move on we were sad to go, but we were headed towards the boarder track, for some 4x4 adventure
As we pulled out it started to rain
