Bendethera

Bendethera is a secluded valley, and a great weekends drive from Canberra or the Coast. Some of the best camping, but beware late summer as the fliesare bad. Beware colder weather as snowis not uncommon - and go preapre for cold weather as sub zero temps can happen even through october.

Caution in the wet - the clay bogs up quickly and makes things hard.

Dont attempt this in a softroader (unless you have decent clearance and dont mind taking it slow) or with a big van on. Camper trailers are ok, but get out in a hurry if it starts raining.
