Bag Boy
G'day fellow 4x4ers, I'm planning a trip to Mackay and was wondering where are some good
camping sites to visit along the way.

Hi Andrew,
We have just moved up to Mackay about 6 months ago. Are you still up here?
Regards

Hi BagBoy,
We have only done a small amount of
camping since coming to Mackay but Carmila Beach is lovely and free too. About an hour South of Mackay. Also
Notch Point is another great
free camp.
Regards
David

Cheers Cackles,
Only just joined up and have as yet to get on a trip with them. They've been really good thus far at the meetings and no chit yet about the Patrol.
Are you a member?

No we aren't but should probably join sometime.
My partner worked for landrover spares, the boss there is involved in the club.
We've met a few over the years and they seem a decent bunch.

Hi Bag Boy,
Cape Palmerston,
Eungella to Burdekin Dam, Homevale national
park, Cathu
state forest,
byfield national park, Mia Mia
state forest, Crediton
state forest,
It really comes down to beach or bush round here.
As Andrew said it would help to know where you are coming from and whether you are doing the coastal or inland route.

Thanks for the tips

Sitting at Carmilla Beach now watching the full moon rise. Great spot right on
the beach, it's free and plenty of room, says 3 nights but stay as long as you like. No showers but
toilets here.
