Yep, we decided to have our wedding as far away as we could get.... Why?
Well, we shouldn't have to answer that because if you know us well you would know we would never do anything normal!!

We know it's far away... and we know you have to travel by plane and car. But at least you are not wearing a sombrero, high pants and a super hero is not suspiciously lurking behind you (see far right of pic).
Recommendations:
- Fly into either Ballina or the Gold Coast.
- Lot's of good tunes on the play list
- A sense of humour if you get lost. (no break ups please!)
Directions:
From Ballina Airport to Tenterfield (approx 2.5 hours)
From Coolangatta Airport to Tenterfield (approx 3 hours)

For those of you driving to Anketell Forest:
Head south along the New England Highway toward Deepwater and Glen Innes.
Ascend Bolivia Hill. Approximately 1km after reaching the plateau at the top of the hill there is a road sign on the left and right-hand turning lane into Castlerag Rd.
Turn right into Castlerag Rd. McCowans Rd is the first road on the right, about 3kms from the highway turnoff. Anketell Forest is at the end of McCowans Rd.
Look for the Anketell Forest signs.
Important note for when you arrive:
Turn west off the New England Hwy 14km north of Deepwater (just south of Bolivia Hill)
into Castlerag Rd.

There is an Anketell Forest sign on the corner.
Once on McCowans Rd, keep left. Don’t take the early right hand turn even though it looks like the more used track.Keep on McCowans for 2kms until you see the second Anketell Forest sign. Cross the grid, keep left, stop outside our small homestead and toot your horn. We’ll then show you to your accommodation.
A word of advice for 2012: Your GPS street maps will tell fibs on the way to Anketell Forest from the highway. First it will misspell Castlerag Rd (they include an extra ‘c’ : CastleCrag Rd) then it will tell you McCowans Rd is through that (wrong) gate and up a paddock track. You’ll be OK in a tractor but any other vehicle will eventually get bogged or bottom out on rocks. The quickest route to Anketell Forest is via the directions above.
