The main
campground area has a hotspring you can sit in all dy and night without the stink of Dalhousie type springs...
Also there are cold springs too..
The fishing
camp at the rosie
creek is pretty good,,, the queenfish are nice sizes generally.
Lots of whip snakes and canetoads.....

Thanks everyone for your help.
CLC50 (Qld) has provided me with the Lat/Long so I have now pinpointed it on our mapping (Garmin - City Navigator)
We travelled this road back in 2002 but must have decided against the detor. Next time I think the hot springs will draw us in.

We went to
Lorella Springs in May/June 2007 and really loved it. We would definitely plan on going back on our next trip.
The people are really friendly, and the grounds are good. Decent ablutions block and they had just installed a donkey when we got there. I managed to nearly melt the donkey's hose, but that is another story!
There is a hot (warm) springs right next to the
camping area which is nice at the end of the day. Everyone gathers there and it makes for a friendly atmosphere. There are little fishies in the water that do like to nibble - they especially liked the scab on my knee!
If you do go, make sure you take a trek out to the
waterhole - absolutely beautiful and the clearest water I have ever seen! There are also some other nice
places to see like the old station house and the
eagles nest. Also take a hike up the rocky
hill behind the station house for a wonderful sunset.
They even have a bar.
If you go further down the track past Lorella, you can get to some good fishing spots so I have heard.
Okay, after reminiscing, I need to start planning my next trip!!
Enjoy
