Unterkunft
Your own preferably. But i do have a shed which just needs a couple days of 're-arranging' to fix up the space so the bed can go down. There is no water yet and access to a outside loo. Outside shower is yet to be set up. But access to my own shower can be used no problem.
Was noch ...
The area is around 900m above sea level, 3 hour drive to Byron Bay and The Gold coast. (including the airport)
Tenterfield has 4 distinct seasons with wonderful national parks near by with rock climbing, and walking tracks and camping places. Bald Rock National Park is one of the biggest Granite mountains. Its a winery area also and a small town of around 4500 people with great cafes, pubs and a bar. all basic amenities and my property is 2km to town, in easy bike riding distance. Cooler in winter and certainly can be 10 degrees cooler than lower areas and coastal areas.

This is only if your pet is friendly, i have a bit of a nervous dog who takes some time to get used to visitors. Very loyal to me and she had a rough beginning so that 'nervousness' is still about. But she LOVEs company of other animals once they sort out whos boss...she tends to think she is sometimes especially with really big dogs as she's REALLY small :)
