GOING bush can sometimes mean you'll be driving for days to get to your destination, but what if we told you there is a pristine property in New South Wales with a country by-the-coast feel to it not far from a major town? Sure, NSW isn't blessed with an abundance of island-camping options like Queensland, but it makes up for it in offering top-notch bush camping stays like this one, and the description 'awe inspiring' would be doing Wave Hill Station an injustice.
Wave Hill Station and Farmstay is a 5000ha working cattle property situated along the Clarence River, just a couple of hours from Grafton, within the foothills adjacent to the Gondwana Rainforests. This area is well known for its excellent bass fishing, more so at the waterfalls, as well as providing pristine views of the Clarence Valley - the scenery here is simply breathtaking.
Once you've arrived at the property, checking in is simple. You will most likely be greeted at the gate by the owner Steve, but if he's otherwise engaged there are labelled mailboxes for each campsite and accommodation option, in which you will find all the information you need. Remember, Wave Hill is a working cattle property, so if you come to a closed gate, make sure you close it after you.
It's hard to comprehend the wide variety of terrain that Wave Hill is situated on, and there are plenty of tracks to explore. These dry-weather only tracks are rocky in areas, and will require a reasonably capable fourwheel drive vehicle to traverse, but they are well maintained.
