Does anyone know if there is phone & internet access at Boynedale campground? Also where is the new access road into the campground on the Calliope River near Gladstone? I think you can't go across the old bridge since we were there last. Any advice appreciated.

Hi, Hi, a friend of mine is looking for the address or website of a jackaroo/jillarro school. He knows about Leconfield and the school in Bingara. Does anyone know about other possibilities to do a 4 weeks course. Not like the 5-days backpacker things.
