Hi Troll - A good 4 dayer is
Fort Grey in the Sturt Desert just before Camerons corner. Brilliant
park - go via Thargominda, then take the Booloo downs road through Old Tickalara and take the
Fortville gate just before Camerons Corner.
For closer to home - here are 5 suggestions:
Have you been to 'Gordons Country' at Goomburra?
Just go up
Cunninghams Gap, turn left at the Driver Reviver, then follow the signs.
There are 4
camping options there.
State forest; a small van
park on 8 acres with power etc; a 4wd
park, and then 4000 acres of
Gordon country (
camp anywhere).
Just out of
St George there is Rosehill Aviary - worlds largest collection of Aust Parrots. Aviaries are not all that flash, but you can
camp free beside the artesian
bore just up the road, provided you visit the parrots.
There is a free campspot at
Bollon beside the Wallum
creek - see Camps 3.
Koalas in the trees and fish in the
creek.
So - drive to the
bore friday night; check out the parrots Sat morn; drive to
Bollon for Sat night (only about 100klms from the Parrots), then home Sunday.
Drive to
Dalby, then take the Moonie Highway for 20 klms, then turn left to
Lake Broadwater Conservation Park. A quiet
park, good
toilets and large open shelter; Short walks around the 'lake' (very shallow and only fills if
creek floods).
One of my favourites is here: www.clarenceriver.com/
Better in warmer climes - keep this one till Oct.
Have you been to Yates Crossing? Drive to
Tabulam on the Bruxner highway, then take either of 2 roads south to what used to be the 'town' of Alice. Yates is where the road crosses the river.
