Not to be confused with the weir free camp site. Sad news I'm afraid. Just as things were starting to dry out nicely, down it came again last Friday 8/10. 60mm in 1hr & total of 75mm o/nite. Had one brave visitor who I advised not to come & guess what, hopelessly bogged his V8 Landcruiser with Kedr...

Stayed a few nights at Oakey Creek reserve about 3 km south of Bowenville Qld, near Dalby, great site, large grassed area, very clean, nice creek, toilets but no water or power, well worth a stop and no limit. Sure beats paying an arm and a leg in Dalby which has to be the unfriendliest town in Queensland

Gday... I spent two nights at the Tiaro QLD (south of Maryborough) free-camp and found it a pretty good spot. Tiaro is a small town - pub (one on main Hwy and a historic one out of town a bit), supermarket, cafe. It was a very popular free-camp with 16 campers first night and 18 the next. However, when I woke...

Stayed at this site on Tuesday night, Camps 6 #: 891. This is about 40 klms south of Goondiwindi. There is a big carpark with a drop loo there but the best spots are down behind the sealed parking area in the bush. Nice spots to have a fire but way too noisy up the top with all the passing trucks. About a 3/5 in o...

Has anybody been to Loyalty Beach, nr Seasia, Cape York? I have been to the top a few times in my old Hilux but usually tried to free camp. My nephew has a TI partner and they have a new daughter, who I would like to see, so I have good reason to go up, besides the fishing , and the sceenery.
