What is the nearest place to here where you can go off-trail deep into the bush and camp?

5 Upvotes

Like if you really, really wanted to get away from human civilisation for a bit.

Obviously we're surrounded by vast bushlands but most of it is waterboard restricted.

Disclaimer, I'm aware this would be dangerous and so on, I'm just curious

Recently moved Wollongong

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

Recently moved to wollongong from Sydney.

I would like to meet new people here to kill the boredom. And get into sports? Soccer or golf? Or maybe both? I am a 9 handicap.

Also suggest what to do on weekends other than the usual sightseeing. Anything different?

MCAS doctor?

I’m just checking if anyone knows of any MCAS doctors in the Illawarra area?
It was suggested to see someone at Young street medical but Dr Middleton and Dr Thomas aren’t taking on anyone new.

Can someone please provide an update on Y&O’s

5 Upvotes

Was supposed to head in at 4 but big nope. Lightning has been brutal and being next to a body of water, on a cliff, with no shelter doesn’t sound exactly safe lol. They posted one story update saying it’s on pause but there’s still lightning. Never mind if it was just rain..

Working in Wollongong, living in South West Sydney?

1 Upvotes

Hi folks, uni student looking at starting a part-time position down in Wollongong. Anybody got any experience, tales or advice for the situation I may find myself in soon?

Will mostly be driving all the way, or parking the car somewhere along the train line then taking the train the rest of the way. Job comes with varied hours so also wondering how late the trains run, is it safe etc, or am I really just better off driving the whole way every time?

Thanks in advance for any responses and advice!

Announcement Guy on corner of Roche Place and Nolan Street selling a camper van. [NOT ME]

Post image
0 Upvotes

Corner of Roche Place and Nolan Street. Price and his phone number i think are written on a sign hung on the camper itself. Don't know exact address, but you will see the camper right on the corner of his yard. This is not me, I'm just posting this to help the guy selling it get some interest in potential buyers. I know details as I have the exact same camper myself. Heres a link to a review of it for more details and images

https://campertraileraustralia.com.au/blogs/camper-reviews/camper-trailer-of-the-year-2020-mars-endurance

Details of camper:

Brand is Mars, model is the Endurance. Forward fold camper, canvas cover. Image included so people know roughly what it looks like.

Condition unknown, who knows if he's taking care of it while its just sitting there. Battery condition unknown.

Selling for $18k, he originally had it up for $22k. Brand new price from dealer is around $22-25k. Price may be negotiable, I dont know if owner is willing to negotiate.

Tare weight of 1650kg to 1800kg. Ball weight 180kg. Anything less powerful than a 2008 glxr triton WILL NOT be able to handle it (first hand experience)

McHitch or do35 coupling. You will probably need an adapter.

12inch drum electric brakes. You will probably need electric brakes installed on your car to tow.

Inside:

Large mattress for sleeping, built in fridge (if he had that i dont know, im just going on what I know about my own camper), table that can be converted into more sleeping space, plenty of storage underneath seats, slide out kitchen on the side of camper, has 4 grills on stove top. Has pantry storage on same side, enough space for an external fridge. Solar panels may or may not be included but can be used to charge the campers battery.

To the guy who's selling this camper, if you see this, I hope you get a potential buyer soon! I think the reason its not selling is because the price is too high, and maybe not enough demand for camper vans.

I will update this post with extra info if I find any.
