| on the roam my top 5 1 Evans Head, NSW “I think this is one of the best camping places anywhere in Australia. It’s all flat ground so you can walk everywhere - to the beach, the river, plenty of meal options - all from the campground, and I think that’s just brilliant.” MY TOP FIVE Derek Goodwin 3 Beechworth, VIC “Beechworth offers a mix of wonderful scenery, Australian history and some great wineries. It’s right in the middle of the goldfields, boasts Chinese history and you can even visit Ned Kelly’s jail cell! If you branch out from the town there’s an array of brilliant wineries to choose from.” 4 5 Hobart, TAS “I’ve always had a great love of history and Hobart has history laid on. You’re walking along and you’ll stumble across the oldest hotel in Australia or docks dating back to the 1800s. The Derwent River is also beautiful.” Pottsville, NSW “The Pottsville camping ground is a brilliant little spot that’s great for the kids. Again, you can walk most places and set up camp right on the river. There’s a ton of seagulls and pelicans around for the kids to feed.” Issue 13 Feb/Mar 2015 49
