Morning all, We are heading to QLD after Christmas with the Camper Trailer and want to stay at a couple of national Parks on the way up from
Melbourne. We'll can go either the Newell or
New England, our final destination is
Ipswich. Where do you recommend?
Cheers,
Glenn

On the Newell - the Warrumbungles is a great place to
camp - are you
camping in
Ipswich ? Staying at the showgrounds?
Come out and have a look at the Scenic Rim - our Lake Moogerah is full to the brim - overflowed last week - first time in 19 years - Whole area around
Boonah is terrific -
camping at Moogerah - Maroon -
The Gorge, Flannagans, Bigriggen, and showgrounds
Boonah and
Kalbar
Take care on the road

Hi Julie,
We've done the Bungles. Not
camping in Ippy staying with friends. Just looking for a couple of
places to
camp overnight on the way up really. Some nice quiet (ha ha ) place to pop into.

A great place to drop into is Coolah Tops (Dubbo -
Dunedoo - Coolah).
A great route from there is to travel in between the
New England and Newell highways. Coolah - Gunnedah -
Manilla - Barraba -
Bingara - Warailda - Texas - Inglewood - Leyburn - Clifton - Gatton -
Ipswich (bitumen all the way without a lot of truck traffic)
Can overnight on the river at
Bingara (5km east) or at Texas on the river
Enjoy which ever route you choose
Alan

Apart from what is already mentioned above, Girraween NP 40-50km north of
Tenterfield then continue up NE Highway, or NE of
Tenterfield to Boonoo Boonoo and
Bald Rock NP, then up the windy but picturesque Mt Lindsay Highway.
Alternatively if going up via Barraba-
Bingara, go onto Severn River (Walimbal NP or something like that) north of Inverell, then onto Texas or into
Tenterfield.
