- In this video we make it to The Entrance, NSW and get a beautiful spot on the waterfront. After exploring the town we then moved on to South West Rocks to meet up with family. Not too far from the caravan park we have a run in with the law :( after a quick $120 fine and stern talking to we get to one of the best Caravan Parks we have come across. Ingenia South West Rocks is right up there with one of the best CP's we have stayed at. Exploring the town of South West Rocks and it's beautiful sights is definitely a must do. After a few days we move and amazing 5.7kms to our next camp site at Trial Bay Gaol. This is another ripper spot that needs to be put on many peoples list.

Ha ha, I know I must have missed that one while reading the rule book 🤪 ours kids have benefited so much from our travels now they are back to normal school, so glad we did it 💪💪
Nice of you to contribute to the local economy. It's a bit of a shame that ratepayers in this Shire all contribute to the nice stuff on the coast, but only a select few, and visitors, get to appreciate and enjoy it. It's a lovely valley though, even if it is not represented accurately in this vid. safe travels.
Thanks for the feedback, but we are trying to understand how we didn't represent this place accurately?? We absolutely love this area and will definitely be back in the future 😎😎
@@DucruznOZ I just wrote a very long and detailed reply, and managed to lose it to the ether. So, essentially, my points were that the coastal areas of this valley are subsidised by the upriver communities, who see no improvements such as a pedestrian bridges with amenities for swimmers. Our roads, bridges and services are a disaster area and cost the people who live out here a small fortune just to travel into town for supplies or work. It's a two tier system that promotes and builds infrastructure in the coastal villages whilst ignoring the needs of inland residents until they can claim disaster funding to do obvious and necessary repairs. No offense intended, just a venting.
@@frednurk8590 ah bugger, sorry to hear that the system is so flawed :( same old story with governments though isn't it?? Rich get richer and the poor get the picture.... that was the same when we lived rurally in WA... most of the mining money would be sent away and our town would get neglected.... so sad :(
Anyway, you should have known better than to have rod holders on the bull bar, it has been illegal for years, even in WA.
Totally correct, lesson learnt :(
Thanks for the amazing footage of this beautiful town I have had the fortune to call home for two years now, enjoy your adventures!
No dramas, such a beautiful place 🥰🥰🏝🏝 cheers for the support 🍻🍻
I live in swr and i love it here!
Beautiful spot, the area looks great. Thanks for the video guy's, very informative as usual. The caravan parks look pretty specky.
Thanks heaps, safe travelling and blessings for the new year.
Cheers mate, that area is so nice we will definitely be back 🏝😎 have a safe a happy new year too 🥳🥳🍻🍻
How good is South West Rocks! We were there week before Xmas and fell in love with the place.
It is so beautiful, will definitely be back there 🏝🍻
I also got pulled over, around where you were, for a rod holder on my bull bar. I didn’t get fined as it was brand new and I told the cop that I had only just put it on and they’re sold as bull bar rod holders but he did give me a defect notice which meant I had to go to a mechanic and get a pink slip and then go the the NSW RTA. Very dull. I think he just wanted to use his V8 engine and flashing lights and drive at 130 kmh chasing me with my caravan on.
Holy smokes, that is full on 😲😲 think getting the $120 fine is probably better 🤣🤣
Been keeping South West Rocks and surrounds as much of a secret as we could for 70+ years in our family. Secrets out!
Ha ha, stop hogging all the good spots then 😎😎 such a beautiful area though 🥰
Hardly secret❤shsh
I love that stretch of coast from Cresent head to SWR . And Arakoon national park at trial bay is really nice. At Smokey cape that is a area where grey nurse sharks go to breed
Oh wow that would be awesome to see the sharks.... that stretch of coast is definitely beautiful 🥰🏝
it's Trial bay not Tidal bay guys. but it is a great place
Ha ha, whoops, one too many beers while editing also we have been to too many places and get confused, ha ha 🤦♂️🤦♂️ cheers mate 🍻🍻
South West Rocks is one of our favourite spots. We stay at Smokey Cape campgrounds which is a fantastic spot to camp.
It is so beautiful, so many nice spots we drove past too 🏝🏝
We did our lap in 2009 and were blown away with the beauty of the North and South Coast of NSW to the level of I rated it it above WA’s coast and I am also from WA originally. Interested to hear your thoughts? 👍
That is a hard one, WA and NSW coastlines all.have their pro's and con's.... sunsets over the water of WA are hard to beat but the NSW water is quite beautiful..... hard call, ha ha. I think WA may be up there with the more remote and not as populated.... also way more free camps 😎🍻
@@DucruznOZ yep agreed……It was a costly and extended time we spent on the NSW coast we always got trapped by the caravan parks offering the old stay for three pay for two etc. 😂👍
@@bradworthington8594 ha ha, that old chestnut.... really depends on what y r after, we much prefer WA
Great video guys, we are from the central coast.
We also love south west rocks, great spot.
Cheers mate, such a great stretch of coastline 🏝😎
You can still walk the track of the mermaid pools but swimming there is sketchy. The view is still worth it tho.
Yeah I think people have been, but we just chose not to.... probably should have....
Weird how the youtube algorithm works.. i come across ur video and it happens to be a video of where i live/grew up.. mermaid pools is ok and looking at the swell in the background it looked fine to be there, the sign is just for liability purposes because earlier in the year a 52yr old and his son were spearfishing around that area, both were washed up the rocks and the 52 year old got swept back in was never found again from memory.
as for the rod holder thing.. a local cop used to book people all the time for it, he was a senior sergeant and was fanatical about rules and regulations, ive never heard of people getting booked for it anywhere else but SWR seems to be just about the only place.
glad you enjoyed ur stay.
oh wow, what a great place to grow up, such beautiful coastline. We would have gone to Mermaid Pools but were with older family that weren't too keen on it :( rules are rules as far as the rod holders go, sucks but it is what it is..... thanks for watching :)
I guess put rod holders on left side and inside off the bull bar , then they don't obscure the driver and not in front as a weapon , will do that with mine 😉
Yeah that is the go, my bullbar is too thick for a normal rod holder mount so I fabricated one to go in the middle.... they are just just ornaments to go in the shed, ha ha
At home in Qld pretty sure they are legal as long as there are rods in them. I got done a couple of years ago around the same area you did. Appealed it and got a pretty quick response of you should know the road rules of which ever state you drive in, pay up!
It is a bit of a bugger isn't it, but rules are rules :( good to spread the awareness to others 🍻🍻
While it may be illegal why can’t the cops just give a warning and ask that the rod holder be taken off?! Good policing isn’t just issuing fines….
@@Chance_It_Oz that's what I thought and said to him that I will take them off then and there and he was cool with that... then came back and gave me the fine 🤷♂️🤷♂️ is what it is 😥
I grew up there, just came back from a week at the Rocks…and FYI…Kempsey cops are and have always been A#$@#oles, on a brighter side..floating down back creek at high tide. Perfection!
Ha ha, that seems to be the general consensus with the cops 🤷♂️🤷♂️ how good is that entry to the creek 😎🏝
@@DucruznOZ its my happy place, live in Brisbane now but still go back there as my family live 8n Kempsey…snorkelling and floating in Back creek is just the best thing in the world to me, glad you got to experience it with your family..love the vids!
@@kempy2233 such an awesome spot and snorkeling would be great there :) cheers for the support...
Hi, from the information I have gleened about the rod holders, there must be a maximum of 4 holders and if attached to the bull bar, it must not obstruct the driver. So should be on the left hand side. It is OK to have them attached when actually being used to hold rods.
Fair enough, that sounds legit... must be because they were in the centre 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Nope regardless of used or not. Central or to the left/passenger side. Still illegal in all states.
@@ausguy4385 Thanks, I stand corrected.
@@ausguy4385 good info to know ;)
Glad you listed the tractor stuff, Dunleith now goes on to my blacklist and probably onto many other caravaners also the highway cop that patrols S/W rocks is pretty ferocious
I suppose some people may be put off by that, but it didn't really bother us.... shame the cops are strict but they have a job to do....
I don't think that I have seen you using the rod holders ANYWAY?
Ha ha, we use them when we are on the beach all the time ;)
do you really think the REASON for not being allowed to have rod holders is the "safety of people" ????? ....this is why I got out of Australia!
Well at the end of the day, rules are rules... don't think I would leave the country for that, but definitely a good excuse to travel 🍻🍻
@@DucruznOZ if you say "rules are rules" ...then I 100% believe that you have NO IDEA what its like to travel.
@@jimw7916 ha ha, yep no idea about travel at all....
@@DucruznOZ you are "travelling" in Australia!!!!! ........ theres NOTHING significant in Australia.......NOTHING!
@@jimw7916 ha ha yeah rightio.... let's agree to disagree 😎
It sucks the cops can't just say take the rod holders off . They just feel they have to fine you
I know, bit frustrating but what are ya gonna do, ha ha 🤦♂️🍻
Back to prison,rethink that one,or are you those parents who need time out,shouldn't have had kids eh,cant you see our educational system is shi.I have never used pie r squared. All the❤ and the power
Ha ha ha, dam str8 mate 🍻🍻
You were counting how many times your husband said "anyway" but count the number of times you both say"check it out" and "very cool"
Ha ha, it does get a bit repetitive doesn't it... we consciously try to not do it but that is just how we talk, ha ha
That copper must have been having difficulty achieving his quota for the day.
Well.... rules is rules unfortunately 😎
Or maybe the copper was just doing his job. The driver himself says he knew he wasn't supposed to have them on. Pass the tissues, at least he has accepted the fine with some grace.
@@rowdy5697 thanks for the nice comment, I knew i was in the wrong... just a good awareness for those who are unaware of the rules ;) 🍻
Do the right thing... not go to south west rocks ... coppers will get you one way or another haha
ha ha, no definitely go and check it out, just take ur rod holders off :)
trial bay gaol not tidal. sorry
Yep, honest mistake 🤦♂️🤦♂️ hazards of going to too many places....
