CHICHESTER STATE FOREST | 100% FREE CAMPING AT ITS BEST
After exploring Barrington Tops a few weeks back, we had to head back, this time we ventured around the adjoining Chichester State Forest for a few days.
Another chilly camp, but again, so stunning! Creek crossings, waterfalls, bush walking, campfire cooking and a brewery 🍻 😉 Adam had a dip in the icy creek 🥶 the kids are still not overly keen on the freezing temperatures. We’re actually really loving the winter camping with the Conqueror Off Road UEV-490 camper (we’re roughing it without a heater though) and the new ute setup giving us plenty of power
📍 Currawong Campground
⛰️ Chichester State Forest NSW
• Complete off grid campground
• Completely free
• Drop toilets
• Bins 🙌🏼 yes bins!
• Lots of grassy 2WD accessible camp grounds (not Currawong though)

PERFECT TOURING 79 SERIES LANDCRUISER WALK AROUND

From the get go we knew we needed to nail this build and we believe we have done just that, from the wheels and tires, to the fact that it has no bullbar, a perfectly sized canopy and enough fuel, water & 12v power to survive an apocalypse.

    Cannot fathom why you would not put the absolute maximum amount of solar on the roof that the space will allow. It is generally considered that whether it’s AGM Batteries or Lithium that it is good practice, that you go for a minimum of twice the battery power. 200 amps of battery , should have minimum of 400 watts of solar

      To be fair it might not have been younger people. Many younger campers want the bush to be clean too and quite a few older people can be grubs. I'm not young by the way. Also older people also do drink caffeine rubbish drinks too. The take away is, if you can bring it in you can take it out.

    I looked at the situation in 2019 ( even more true post Covid in 2024), on a per year ownership cost for just the vehicle, you are either on par or better off than buying a second hand of all the popular Toyota 4wd. Check out the secondhand prices (redbook) and work out a 10 year ownership cost or say 200-250k ownership cost. So if you have cash to buy new, buy new, and know that mechanically it would fine for many years and someone else hasn’t butchered the car… it’s really a case of poor man pays more…😢 good channel - way more objective and none of the confirmation bias than other many other youtubers
