Camping On The Mann River (Diehard) - Homeward Bound
Allen and I wake up to the sound of the river and the dawn chorus, what's not to like?
We make the tough call not to continue down the Old Grafton Road, as the roads out are still showing as closed towards Grafton and Nymboida. They may well be passable, but if not, we would face about 80Km of dirt road back-tracking just to return to Diehard and then have a very long ride home.
