QLD Kev & Darkie
I have to be in Calliope on Monday for a Job interview with the local council and was wondering where I could stay on Sunday and Monday nights.
The interview is a 3:30pm QLD time so I have the option to travel before and after the interview.
Any recommendations??
I'll be staying in St.George Saturday night on the trip up and who knows where on Tuesday night on the trip home :))
Cheers Kev
Who is getting closer to getting back to QLD haha

You don't say if you are
camping or not.
There is a caravan
park in town. Not the latest and greatest but we have found it OK.
If after a
free camp there is a
rest area about 15-20k south along the road down towards
Many Peaks
Motels - some near the
intersection with the Bruce Highway (10-12k away) or you could go 20-30k and you would be in
Gladstone.

Alan,
I'm undecided about whether I
camp or not. It may end up being easier to either Motel or get a cabin.

Gladstone is just up the road- there's heaps of options there !!
Check out the NRMA (or RACQ) directory...

G'day Kev
I'd recommend you have a look at Tannum Sands, either on the way up or the way back. A very pretty little beachside town about 25 klm from Callliope, and just south of
Gladstone.

That would depend on what you did to get in there, If you did you did the same offence ..96..or..80.. times in a "series" of events ....then it would be free,
lmao

Try This
For a great
free camp try here.
For local info on motel MM Bros. He even drives a Cruiser so you may just get along hehehehe. I have plenty of mates (1 anyway LOL!!) up there so no need to motel it for me, so I am no good in this dept.
Best of luck.

Trevor,
I think that is the one Mrs Al (Lyn) emailed me last night.
I might Motel it Sunday night (gotta try and make myself look good for Monday haha) and
free camp it Monday night.

I'm not sure why Alan H has the idea that the Bruce Highway is 10 to 12 kilometres away.
It is only 1 Kilometre to the Bruce Highway from Calliope and there is a Motel right there, We locals call the
intersection of the Dawson Highway and the Bruce Highway the Calliope
Crossroads as it is considered when you get to the
Crossroads you are in Calliope.
Sorry I can't comment on the quality of the Motel as I have never stayed there.
Regards
John

Would it be too rude if I ask what job Kev? If you are keen to get close to the Sunshine Coast (noted by the
Redcliffe interview), let me know. My wife owns a recruitment agency. She & her team recently won the Caloundra Business Awards for Professional Business of the Year 2007.

Stefan,
I am after Building Certifier positions. I prefer Local Government at the moment as I still have a few injury issues from my time in the Army.

My wife says that if you are keen to come to the Sunshine Coast, you should send your Resume ASAP to sally@hrmcc.com.au or call her ASAP on (07) 5438 2299
She may be able to help as she has a couple of positions for Building Certifiers.

Hi Kev,
We stayed with friends on Boyne Island about a month ago which is next to Tannum on the Calliope side. Has some nice houses but the prices are pretty steep unless you have a job in the mining/smelting sector! There was at least one motel that I saw.
Good luck,
Adrian

I have been checking house prices out via the internet and they are pretty high LOL
I may end up buying a block of land and build yet. So I'll have to rent for a while till it's finished, I don't think I'll have problems getting the plans through council ;))
