Milo - O'Reilly's Vineyard is terrific place - camping is available at the Canungra showgrounds - the vineyard is easily accessible to most vehicles, The Tardis should be fine in the area, some roads are a bit steep, but I have travelled all through the area in a bus, so you should be right. While in the area visit the distillery at Mt Tambourine,(the owner - Michael - is a real character), as well as the cheese factory and brewery - there is also a glow worm cave at the Mt Tambourine winery (not the O'Reilly's one). Thunderbird Park is pretty good, as is the treetop walk nearby -
Go online to "visit the Scenic Rim" - heaps of info on there regarding the area. Enjoy.

I can vouch for it being a great area to visit. My son and d-i-l were married at the Vineyard 3 years ago, and Canungra is a favourite haunt of mine. My friend and I often go out there just for the fresh air, a cuppa and a visit to Flutterbys... a lovely little gift shop.

Spring Gully Stays is also a lovely place....so peaceful and quiet. The access road is dirt, with a couple of shallow creek crossings, but my little i30 goes in there quite easily. But you do need to book ahead.

The road to O'Reillys is very twisty and turny but buses go up there all the time. And it's well worth the drive. Son & d-i-l honeymooned there.

The winery isn't near O'Reilly's itself - not far away - but down on the flat.
