Last year on our way back to
Brisbane from Mackay area we stopped overnight on a Saturday night at the
Springsure showgrounds. There were two very noisy parties in clubs nearby which went on till about 5am. Just for your info. We also camped early December on the
Wuruma dam on the Nagoa but further downstream, it was an excellent
free camp, the
dam is now at 100%.

About 60 ks out of town a road turns off to the north and crosses the river, there used to be a spot there where we used to stop for a cuppa, not too sure if it is still there or all washed away in the floods.
There is also a
rest area between
springsure and
Rolleston on the Staircase range where you can stop. Lots of big Zamia palms there (Macrozamia moorei)
If you want to be with some water try
Lake Nuga Nuga south of Planet Downs, lots and lots of bird life. but
check to see if it has dried up enough that they have opened it up, its a bit dicey getting in if it is wet.
