Re: Island Reach Imbil

Where is Imbil exactly??

South of Gympie, west of Cooroy... Inland from the Bruce Hwy.
The Valley Rattler (old steam train) terminates at Imbil after travelling down from Gympie each Sunday.

Here's a pic of the Valley Rattler after they've turned the engine around.


It's quite a sight to see... they turn it around on a big ol' lazy Susan

Re: Island Reach Imbil

I was there on the 15th and 16th of October and agree it is a great spot. If you are looking for a good day out when camperd there driv through town past the General stor and servo and after about 5-8 minutes tou will come accross a road on your right that is a fauna and flaura reserve. The dirt road is quite easy with a few shallow creek crossings and a couple of steep hills. After a plesant drive (includin through a deer farm) it brings you out at the entrance to Landcruiser mountain park. We left Island reach at 9 am had about 4 hours at LCMP and was back for a cold beer at Imbill by 4pm.

Cheers
Alan.
