G'day all,
We are heading off to
Cooper Creek in six weeks time in our Bravo 4wd & semi off road camper. We are fully set up for
bush camping & are looking for any information on
places of interest & bush
camp sites west of
Charleville. Our focus this trip is to explore the areas around
Quilpie &
Windorah & what's in-between them. We have 16 days to do this & would only like to change
camp sites 3 to 4 times max in this time. We are restricted with our medium 4wd & not a fully of
road camp trailer to go to the hard to get to bush
camp sites. My plan is to
camp at
Lake Houdraman just north east of
Quilpie & just after you cross the Cooper about 15km out of
Windorah. I'm looking for 1 or 2 more bush
camp sites in this area & any
places interest you my think are worth a look.
Thanks for any
feedback,
Michael.

As a former owner of a Mazda Bravo, and now Mazda BT50, you can take it where the so called big names go.
My Bravo had only a 50 mm lift with heavier duty springs, BFG AT tyres,
snorkel, 3 way battery system and not a lot else.
I can assure you it will not cause you grief. I took
mine where some of the others have gone even towing a 1.8 + tonne off road
Kimberley Karavan,eg.,
Bloomfield Track. It will climb better than some of the others.
Mostly, it is being confident in your driving ability. As for the camper trailer, if you do not drive like a maniac you will be fine. Lower tyre pressures and speed when necessary.
I cannot help you with the locations but you will have fun.
Cheers
DW
