My dad told me never to use river rocks to circle a fire. He said these rocks are porous and can have water trapped in them. If the water turns to steam these rocks can explode.
@@ontheroadaustralia a metal fire pit is another piece of equipment that needs to be bought and hauled around. Maybe just clearing away the rocks is the way to go. Its been a while since I've been camping by rivers like this. Usually I'd clear the rocks away. I don't know if my father's advice has any truth to it or not but it seems feasible. However if a rock has been sitting on dry land for years in the sun and wind, it probably doesn't have much moisture left in it.
Take Gwydir Hwy and turn off onto Coombadjha Rd then turn down Hanging Rock Rd. Hope that helps? Its comes up on google maps as Mann River Broadwater camping ground.
Last time I went well before the epidemic, toilet paper & poo everywhere, open fires left, rubbish and was a far cry from when I first went.... Was an ideal spot way back when.
Mesmerising and relaxing.A great camp site.Looking forward to the next one
Definitely worth a visit. Glad you're liking it.
Thanks for the feedback.
Beautiful spot 😊
It definitely is. We'll definitely be going back at some point. Cheers
I love the Mann River! There's so many great spots around that area. I'll have to check this one out. Thanks for sharing it!
We had a great time here and would definitely recommend!
Stunning
Thanks 😊
Great work mate im in qld great to see another part of oz music scenes effects spot on ❤
Thanks. Was a really nice spot. We're planning a trip on the Clarence to check out some more free camps. Appreciate the feedback
Very pretty and I love to go there !
Such a nice spot to just sit back and relax by the fire. We loved it!
Looks like our kind of camping spot!
It's totally our style, too. Plenty of space, and it's completely free, too. I'm glad you liked it.
Whats the road like into the camp site cheers Richard
It's a dirt road. Easy to get in. We only have a 2 tonne off road van, but bigger ones would be fine.
great vid, thanks
Thanks, you enjoyed it.

Good advice. It's probably not worth the risk, we really should get a metal fire pit.

Where is it located

Can you access with 2 wheel drive
You should be able to. It's a dirt road, but we didn't use 4wd to get there.
Where the hell is this located please
Type Mann River free camp into google maps. It's just north of Cangai in NSW. There are road names and more info in earlier comments too.

It was quite good when we were there. But it is a shame when a few spoil these free places for everyone else.
I found this site to be littered with rubbish and human faeces. Plus cows trampled my tent when I was off paddling in the river.
That sucks. It was really nice when we were there. It should be for people who have their own facilities 🚽 and look after the place.
found gold in this river
Nice one👍
So where is it, what is the point if you are the only ones there
See previous comments for directions.
😂 that’s the whole point u city slicker!
Literally found it by google mapping it
Yeah that's how we found it.
Whoosh!
