Nice property but evening ruined
The hobby sheep farm is a beautiful property. Myself, my partner, and our dog were greeted on arrival by our host, who was accommodating. We were travelling back home from Northern NSW and just stopping for the night, the host kindly helped us find a dry spot to park our ute.
We set up camp on a flat spot in the paddock alongside the sheep and started settling in when we heard a group approaching, the was after dark closer to 8pm. One of them said something along the lines of “don’t shine there, there's campers there,” so they were clearly aware of where we were set up.
Shortly after, a very loud firework went off, part of it exploding extremely close to our tent. It was not small, the sound was like a gunshot, which alarmed both us and our dog. My partner spoke with the group, and they agreed not to set off any more fireworks, which we appreciated. However, the next 2 hours were still noisy, with engines being revved, loud conversations, and laughing. It also took quite a while to settle our dog again, who normally doesn’t react to fireworks from a distance.
Given the host knew we were there and that we had a dog, this was very disappointing. We had expected a quiet, relaxing stopover based on the reviews, but unfortunately the disturbance ruined the evening.
