Stotts Island Nature Reserve, Chinderah

The second night of our homeward trek saw us at the free camp of Stotts Island Nature Reserve near Chinderah, just south of Tweed Heads. This is a popular and very delightful stop-over. We would recommend this stop if you are travelling on the Pacific Highway. The Nature Reserve is quite extensive with space for many vehicles. Some stay for several days. Go in and meet the resident rooster pack. You wont sleep in. The story goes, that residents in the area with surplus roosters in their pens release them here. They seem to be doing very well, circulating around all the camps.
