updated info from Alison re  Postman's camp
Postman's camp has:
 

Vehicle based camping, 4WD touring, Toilets (drop dunny) wheel chair accessible, picnic tables, fire places, swimming.
 
No dogs allowed - as this is in South East Forests Natioanl Park
 
No garbage bins provided - you need to "tread softly" and take your garbage with you.
 
The camp ground is located 32 kms west of Candelo.  4WD dry weather only access (but this would not need to be a big serious 4WD, we have gone there in the X-Trail and Jen says she would get the Brumby down there without any problems).  Access is via Tantawangalo Road, 5 km west of Six Mile Creek RA.  It is situated on a bend of the Tantawangalo Creek - very pretty.
 
General water is from creek - boil first.
 
Bring drinking water and firewood.
 
My info is from the "Boiling Billy" publication, written by Craig Lewis & Cathy Savage (a local Wyndham couple who put out the best quality camping and 4WD touring books we have encountered) - my book is called "Camping Guide to NSW" - we have also been out there a couple of times (following their directions - and they have been "spot on")
 
As I said, six mile is very nice but you would get more traffic, as it is on the side of the road - better as a lunch spot or maybe a bad weather option.
 
Hope this helps
Lauren
