  • Easter options in Central Qld.

    I had been planning on spending a few days over Easter exploring Mount Moffat national park, probably from around the 9th-11th or 12th of April. Looks like most of Mount Moffat is closed at the moment from all the rain so I'll scratch that idea.

    Blackdown Tablelands was another option, but it too is closed, or at least the camping area is at the moment.

    Eungella is my backup plan, still a fair few places to explore up there, although a couple of tracks there are closed as well, there should be enough open ones to keep me amused. I didn't want to spend my time at Eungella though as it is fairly close to home and better saved for shorter breaks.

    Kroombit Tops is another one that would have been good to visit, but apparently it's closed "for feral animal control" until the 27th of April.

    So, what's left? Head further south to Goodnight Scrub maybe, not much to see there really although plenty of chances to become geographically embarrassed. Head North to somewhere like Undarra or Chilagoe. Or head West, conquer Big Red and come home.

    Anybody have any ideas? Just want somewhere reasonable quiet where I can kick back for a few days, do a few short - medium bushwalks and maybe a little 4wding. Don't mind travelling a bit to get there.

    Cheers,
    Dave.

    Have you been to Cania Gorge? Some nice short walks, and a large dam if you want to throw in a line. Not a lot of off-road 4wd, but some of the local roads are designated 4wd only. You can drive through the old gold fields.

    Two private camping / caravan parks, one is a Big 4, the other a Top Tourist (which was our preference for a stay).

      Thanks Paul, Yeah I've spent a bit of time at Cania, used to fish the dam years ago when I lived just down the road in Mundubbera. It's a nice spot and the walks are certainly worth doing but I'm hoping for something a little more remote. I'd imagine both those parks will be buzzing over the holidays.

      Thanks for the suggestions.

      Dave.

        What's that old saying about in for a penny, in for a pound? At this stage it looks like I'll be camping at Girraween National Park and splitting my time between there and Sundown NP. Roughly 1100kms from home and I'll only be able to stay 2 nights but at least I'll be out of the house
