In a couple of days I intend to travel up to
Hebel Qld. and do some
bush camping, on the Balonne River. I understand that there are
places to go.
After that, if we can find somewhere, we intend to move on to
Surat, and
camp at Fishing & Restocking Club
Park (Caps Oz Wide No. 752 (Qld).
Any advice re these location would be greatly appreciated.

Just a Km or so out of
Hebel on the Diranbandi Rd. You are right on the river there.
Free Camp.

Make sure you drop in to the
Hebel Pub and say hello to Constable Grunter.

Richard,
Ask at the
Hebel pub, but there is some great
bush camps in the area.
For a bit of a scenic drive when you get to
Dirranbandi ask for directions to the Whynbah Road, it is a dirt road from
Dirranbandi to
St George and a great alternate way to travel as it winds along the river.
The
Camp site in
Surat is also a great place to pull up and the last time I stayed there the campers were catching some good sized Yellowbelly.
Cheers Kev

Showers at an ammenities block on the sth side of
Surat. The Fishing club campground has a
toilet block but no shower and is on the nth side of
Surat, a great stopover.
Enjoy, Trevor.
