Easter 5 hours from Brisbane

Manar Park, up near Proston. Plenty of room. Good tracks.

west of Tenterfield near Ashford - havent been there at Eatser but went there after New Year and was surprised that very few people were there. Need to contact park to see if any large groups are booked in for Easter. nice place when the Severn river Levels are up a bit

Reckon the only place your gonna get to "get away from the crowds" at easter is in your back yard mate :-))

You could always drive to the brisbane CBD as all the workers have gone camping .

Google "bullock mountain homestead" 20km. w of Glen Innes. (~ 4.5hrs. Bris.)
Sapphire fossicking. fishing (cod, yellowbelly, redfin) horseriding on 2000acres.
Steve a great host, I will actually be camped there with the family myself.

Try this spot

It is less than 5 hours from Brisbane and nice and quiet.

Spent from Xmas to New Years camped here on our ownw with tinny beached right in front of the camp. Not one other camper in sight.

Don't tell anyone about this secret spot though. Wouldn't want word to get out.

Hi Troll, you have said that you have done most of the Dirty Weekend trips, just wandering if you have been to Cracow Beach think it may be in the CQ book? anyway we are going for a look and see what's there this Easter might have to have a couple of pots at the Cracow pub on the way through hahahahahaha

Hi Troll - Two suggestions :

1. Gordons Country at Goomburra - camp anywhere on the 4000 acre cattle property. Go via Cunningsham gap, then turn at the Driver Reviver at Gladfield, then to Goomburra.
This is only aprox 2.5 hrs away.

2. For solitude, the place you are looking for is called "Expedition National Park" - a truly isolated wilderness park. More like 8 hours - 650 klms, but you will probably have the entire place to yourself. Get there via Toowoomba, Miles, Taroom.
Just outside Taroom is Lake Murphy Conservation park - stay a night - then follow the road to Expedition.
nb - must be totally self sufficient. Does have a fairly new compositing toilet.

What about some bush camping out near Moonie on the Moonie River. You could even have a night camping on the banks of the river at the best pub in Queensland, the Nindigully Hotel? There are some lovely secluded riverside campspots out there in the camps book and its definitely west.
whereever you decide to go, have a great easter!!
