Camping @ Chichester State Forest

Before entering Chichester State Forest we travelled through windy, unsurfaced roads, a few "river crossings" before we came to a place called "Boot Hill" which is essentially a large wire fence with one tree in the middle of nowhere. Hanging from the fence and trees were hundreds if not thousands of shoes, trainers, thongs, shirts etc. Im not sure if there is a story behind them all or what the significance of it was, but it was worthy of a photograph.

After continuing along the windy roads, we finally entered the State Forest which had a large number of camp spots to choose from. We decided to go away from the crowds and travelled up the small hill above Old Camp and stayed at Dobbie Rim Campground.

Dobbie Rim Campground was walking distance from the river and various swimming holes called "Ladies Well" So we headed on down there with the dogs.

We first came to a large rocky / boulder type area where some people jump off into the pools below.

The pools were pristine clean and no doubt refreshing in the warm weather.

Jasper (Katies dog) can get enough of pools and water and probably made the most of the time there in the water alongside Katie

We decided to follow the river and headed further down the stream to uncover even more swimming holes. We decided that there was probably too much to see here in just a weekend so we will be definitely making more regular visits to explore.

Due to my achilles tendon "on the mend" I was not able to get down to everything. Some parts are very rocky and quite steep. Skyler and I chilled and waited at the top.

Rocky seems to have "ADD" - he cannot sit still and can never chill when he is out on a walk.

Marc decided to soak up some sun on the other side of the river on one of the rocks. It is a great spot to bring the BBQ and a few beers, we will definitely be back soon.
