You can always rely on sandies at any of those beachside places. Don't forget the aerogard!


 That might have been us. We stayed at Poona for a week in early Sept last year. The caravan park was no frills but good. It had a relaxed atmosphere which reflected the towns general feel.

Some sites had slabs & some had grass, it was a lovely grassy area. The water is on the edge of the park but it's a tidal mangrove area so, no swimming & would be a problem during midge season also, but was fine when we were there so it might be wise to find out first.

Friday evening the local hall, a block away, puts on a cheap dinner which, when we were there, included a live band. It was a lovely place to meet some locals & other caravaners.

If you ask or look around you will find on the edge of town a lovely bushy coastal walk which takes about half an hour round trip.

You can drive to Rainbow Beach & also Maryborough for day outings while you are there.

The pic is taken at high tide from the edge of caravan park

Hope that helped

Cheers

Jon

Hello Margaret,

We actually live here in Poona. It is as all the comments have said a lovely quiet place to relax. 

The midgies are around early in the mornings and late afternoons, but if you use a repellant they are not a problem'

The caravan park is very friendly. Has a swimming pool and clean amenities.

At present there are plenty of Mudcrabs and fish

If you are up this way drop me an Email and we will try and catch up.

We will be travelling from mid March till the end of the year

 

Regards 

Peter
