Swaggin' it in style at the Penrose State Forest.

Usually it's a little too close to home to spend a night out there, so I hadn't spent much time exploring. Turns out it's well worth the drive, since there are some fantastic bush camping sites not far off the beaten track and it's much quieter than the nearby Wingello State Forest, which is a bit of a mecca for mountainbikers. However, unlike Wingello, there are zero facilities so take a shovel.

Plenty of wildlife too if you're looking for some of our more iconic Aussie critters such as wallabies, kangaroos and koalas. If you're patient and quiet you'll no doubt spot a bunch of native animals.

Definitely worth a visit if you're travelling between Sydney and Canberra or Melbourne and need a quick, free overnight stop.

"This was our 3rd visit to Siver Cabin in the last 6 months. We love how comfortable and relaxed the cabin is. Equipped with everything needed and one of the comfiest beds ever. Starting the days with kangaroos by the front porch leaves a smile.on your face that lasts all day. It won't be our last visit!"
