We just came back from a few days of resting at Byron Bay , the number of VW vans was amazing and I,m not talking about the surfie ones just lots of Multi,s and T6,s and T5,s with camp out fittings done as well . We decided to check out the Minyon Falls in the Nightcap National park , now our van is on a Bilstein suspension so its lowered 50 mm . Amazingly it handled the badly potholed dirt road to the Nightcap Range camp ground quite well , sadly we could not get to the Falls as they blocked the road through the NP from that direction . We had to back track over 15 kays on the dirt again to the other side of the mountain to get to the falls via Repentance Creek { we did eventually find a small handwritten sign at the beginning the first road saying it was closed but no other directions were forthcoming} , my wife was hanging onto the "Jesus " handle in the roof trim for grim death as there were shear drop offs with no safety barriers along the road . If anyone has been there you would know its one hell of a vertigo inducing drop , they built the observation platform overhanging a shear drop straight down over 300 feet to the valley floor below . When we left Byron this morning I would have counted over six vans just coming into town today , must be a Byron thing to own a VW van .

Walk to the bottom ??? at 67 I don,t think so unless there was a road there HA HA , we did check out The Channon as we are planning another trip there after some rain has been filling the creeks etc . The waterfall was so dry there was barely a trickle going over the edge , we want to visit the Channon markets next time . Driving the van through the National Park was great as at the elevated driving position you could spot the worst pot holes and bad sections , there was a couple of times where the suspension bottomed out with a thump .
