    Timber from the roadside is usually not allowed, although it does depend on the local council. I would check with the closest tourist info, personally I think it’s a great idea 👍

    Camped there quite a few times now, last time got hit with a big thunderstorm, I was just over the hill from where you camped.
    My understanding is it’s illegal in nsw to collect timber from the side of the road but as long as it’s safe to do so and your on a quiet road I do it.

    Hi, great video, thank you for sharing your adventures. We would love to know how to make or if you sell the bowl Cosies (think that’s what you called them?) we are after 2 for our van please such an awesome idea 😄

    • @gibbosroadtripadventures
      @gibbosroadtripadventures  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi there, I’m actually putting an instruction sheet together and yes I could make you some but by the time, cost of materials & postage I think they would probably be more than people would want to pay.
      The bowl cosies are great to store between your bowls while traveling and also serving under your bowl when serving a hot meal, plus it’s just nice to have served under your bowls.
      I am wondering if anyone has found my hidden cosies from Burraga Dam? I might do this occasionally on our road trips as a special treat for those that follow us & go to the places we showcase.

      @@alisonshields1892 It’s our favourite card game which can be played by 2 or many.
      Maybe I should show you how in another road trip adventure but basically you deal cards to each player, starting from 10 cards on the first round and with each following round you deal one less ie 9,8,7 and so on, until you get down to one. When you get one card each, you don’t look at it but instead hold it up to your forehead, facing out to the other players. The aim of the game is to bet on how many tricks you can win out of the round, with consideration to what card has been turned over after the deal. The joker is the highest card, followed by the Jacks of the same colour as the card on the table, then ace, king, queen, 10, 9, etc. You can either try to win or lose the tricks to match your round bet. If you get what you bid, you’ll receive 10 points but the amount of tricks you won. If you bust, more tricks than you bid for, you get no points. If you are under, you get 1 points for each trick you won.
      We love the game, keeps us awake & alert. Haha

    Picking wood in NSW not sure but in the communist state of Victoria I believe it's a no no

    • @gibbosroadtripadventures
      @gibbosroadtripadventures  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Such a hard topic at times and can get a bit debatable with some. We always thought State Forests were ok to collect wood from while you picnic or camp, but apparently this depends on which park. I tried to follow this up with State Forests but the documentation offered only seems to indicate a permit if you wish to take firewood away from a State Park - nothing mentions if you camp there and use it for your cooking. Whilst communicating with State Forests I asked the question about public road and the guy said he couldn't give me an answer. I believe public roads are free to collect firewood from the roadside, and as one person commented, it helps clean it up which we totally agree on. Thanks for commenting, I'll have to look into Victoria when we visit next. Cheers Marg
