Grong Grong is another small rural village which is unlikely to be a destination for tourists. A hotel, church, disused railway line and grain bins are the highlight of this location
The name Grong Grong is an Aboriginal term meaning “bad camping ground” or “very bad camping ground”.
If you have any further information on this town, please let me know – thank you.
Geez..how wrong could you be! My husband and I are travelling OZ and we stopped here at Grong Grong Royal hotel where the owners offer free camping at the back of the hotel an they only ask for a gold coin donation for a shower..there are clean toilets and food available and best of all the awesome company of the locals and the hosts!! So, it is free camping but all they ask in return is to come in to the pub for a beer or a meal, and a chat! Go and visit them, they are such great people!
Oh – it was not me that said it was bad for camping. It’s apparently what the aboriginal name Grong Grong means.
