Hi all.
I am looking for a camping/caravan park approx 150-200ks from Brisbane reasonably close to a dam/lake with yabbies. The bigger the better. The yabbies I mean !!
Would be greatfull for any help.

What about Somersey Dam? Supposed to be full of the buggers.

Borumba Dam near Imbil has plenty of Red Claw. Either camp at the dam or the Deer park up the road.

Thanks Guys perhaps I will give Sumerset a try . I see a few tracks leading to the dam water. Do any of these lead to good quiet camping areas?

G'day young man,
Are you stocking the fridge for when we get there.
Go caravaning, life is so much shorter than death.

I think you are refering to red claw rather than yabbies. You might find that they are off now considering the colder weather we are experiencing in QLD at this time of year. We did catch 600 in 5 days at Boondooma but that was in March.

Yes Petengail it was Red Claw I was after.
And Baz and Pud. I just wanted to take my dear daughter and her husband to experience a few days camping. Could be the first and the last !!
Will look forward to seeing you both on the 19th June
Cheers
