Currawinya NP

If it's any help (at all) I was there late October & there was plenty of water, along the track out to the main lakes also. The bird life was wonderful and the camp sites were quiet.

I was last there years ago when it was totally dry, covered in shells of dead tortoises & smelled bad - so this was lovely to see.

Have a great time there - it's a beautiful park.

Hi

We were there in July 12. Roads to lakes were closed due to flooding so lots of water then. We camped on the river behind the old homestead, had the area pretty much to our selves. Good fishing then.

Only problem was wild pigs everywhere, had made a terrible mess of the place.

While you are in the area, don't miss Eulo and take your other half to the mud baths/date farm/winery in the evening for a batch with a difference. Do it in the evening under the stars with a bottle of wine just great. By the way camping there either behind the pub (excellent) or free on the river just out of the town.

have fun

Hi Justin, I believe autumn is the best time to visit our part of the world, the weather is usually perfect. Lake Wyara is abot 60% full in my opinion, still lots of water in it. The countryside is very, very dry though with many bushfires happening in the last 2 months. I don't think Currawinya has had a major fire yet. The birdlife in the area is still prolific. Cheers Toni
