Binna Burra at the back of the gold coast in the lamington national park is great it is reasonably priced and includes all meals there are heaps of bush walks and it is very peaceful.

I just returned from there last week.

I think you and your partner will love it

Eungalla.
Some cheap flights going on a lot of the airlines to get you to Mackay and it is just up in the hills from there. Make you feel like you are a million miles from work......nice.

Have a look at this - Cedar Creek Lodges at Thunderbird Park - Tamborine.
www.cedarcreeklodges.com.au
Self contained cedar lodges beside the creek, in the rainforest.
With fireplace, and large glass windows looking out to the creek and palms.
Been to look - couldn't afford to stay, but wish I could.............................keith

Hi Reiner

North of Brissy
Try Treehouses at Montville. If you urn up on the morning you will pay a little less plus they'll throw in breaky too. If they are booked there are heaps around that will do the same deal.
Another good site for places www.montvilleaccommodation.com.au/
You could also try (very hexy in price but nice) the treehouses on the Baroon Dam. www.treetop.com.au/.

South of Brissy
The Mouse's House Site Link near are very nice too.

Enjoy!!!

Go out to Sundown National Park oppposite Bald Rock and bush camp at Rats Castle but book into Ballendean Wineries to expend the voucher before you go in.. The wildest National Park in SE Qld.

Enjoy and be apid

Rather than the fleeting and brief moment of selfish self-satisfaction of a couple of days away, you could experience the feeling of lifelong satisfaction that comes from giving the money to someone worthy like myself.
I could then use it to buy alcohol to mask the loss of self worth coming from accepting such a handout.
Everybody would be happy then!!

Port Douglas!

One of my favourite haunts.

Also a good drive through the Atherton Tablelands countryside.
Drive through to Mossman, then the Mossman Gorge, then along the Mossman Mount Molloy Road to Mareeba, (Coffee country) then Kennedy Highway to Cairns and back along the beachfront to Pt. Douglas.

Or, alternatively, you could do a cruise out to ribbon reef on one of the charter boats and do some fishing, or diving (Scuba/Snorkeling)

Aw, now I want to go up there again!!!!!
Especially when its WINTER down here.

Hey Reiner (a la teardrop) as Ian calls you! If you continue to call 'the love of your life' 'your woman' - she probably won't take you. I'll go with her somewhere green and mountainy. Congratulate Sam for me - and I agree about Ballandean and the wineries, if it's fantastic - we can all go next year. Yeah!

Hi Reiner

Why not take her to the Condamine Gorge out behind Boonah. It is the head waters of the Murray Darling River ssytem. You cross the condamine river about 14 times (take your Land Cruiser.. I've done it in my Tucson) and then at the other end you can go around through the Queen Mary Falls and follow the road back to Boonah. On the way you come to the Mountain View Cafe which has beautiful cabins you can rent for a weekend. They have fabulous views. It's a top place.

Google it and you'll come across their site.

I love the area so much I went there 3 weekends in a row from Brisbane for a drive.

Cheers

Thank you to all for your ideas and tips. The trouble we have here in South East Qld is we have to many good places to go.
It looks like Spring Creek Cottages will be the winners and they are booked out to Sept. But that is not a problem. Some more camping before that :-)
Thanks again
cheers
