Info on Noccandra Hotel caravan facilities

There were a couple of power heads behind the pub when we were there a few years ago. There are facilities for the pub one side of it and public facilities with showers the other.

The river bank is a much more inviting camping area. Fit a Webasto heater to your unit for warmth and camp at the river. It will be useful as there are other nice bush camping on the way to and from there. We have not used our heater much but the huge expense has been worth it (still have not used one tank full of diesel.)

G'day Kevin, While I cant confirm power sites, there were no vans near the pub when we were there last winter, but plenty along the river. There are showers etc in a block next to pub. We didnt need heating in that area, but understand you Qld lot are a bit shivery..:))))...cheers...oldbaz.

Thanks PeterD and Oldbaz, that's good information.

I have a second reason for wanting power. I would like to leave the van there for a couple of days to drive to Innaminka and as it has a 240V freezer it is much more convenient if I can plug it in. The fridge is a 3 way and we have a Waeco that will run as a freezer but I am a bit nervous about leaving it parked beside a river operating on gas and battery. The van is not an off road unit.

The initial plan was to leave the van at Thargamindah but there are not many places as remote as Noccundra that have a sealed road running to them, even if it is single lane so it does look an attractive place to spend some time.

Anyway your information is helping us to make plans.

Cheers,

Kevin

Hi Kevin

You would be best to contact the Hotel and see if they will allow you access to power while leaving you van unattended. If there are only limited powered sites, there would be the temptation for another caravanner to pull your power cord to use the outlet themselves if none are free (and forget to put it back when they leave).

Good place for a beer, plenty of rum if it is cold not much else matters.

Hi Kevin

4 years ago my 5 year old son and I stayed there for a night, this was a great place to stop after a long drive, it was about 38 degrees that day, the people there were great, I asked for a powered site as I had 2 full fridges and a fan for the camper, they had a few but close to the pub, this is not a van park.

These people were really accommodating they fed the young fella for free and I Had a feed later, then a few drinks with the manager to the wee hours.

The facilities were basic but for $15 for the power and $2 for a shower it was more than OK, the feed was great as well.

There is a mine camp at the pub and the guy's I spoke to were good people, the Manager caught up with me the next day on the Stzrelecki Track when I was changing a tyre, as it happened I was ok and all was good, but I got the impression he was more than happy to help no matter what.

Great place and good people.

Cheers Steve
