Hi all. As title suggest, I am wondering if anyone has lately traveled on the road from Mt Coolon to the Burdekin Falls Dam and on to Ravenswood. I do have a 4WD and a full off-road 16' caravan. And if so any suggestion for camping spots on the way as I had heard that the camp ground at the Burdekin is closed....

Morning everyone, Do we need to ask council, if we wanted to use our registered van, as accommodation for a family member who has been displaced. We tried MR. Google just now . Any knowledge on this would be helpful. Before approaching our local Council. Old & Grey

Hi all Going away with a group of ladies, one of the stops being the caravan park at Crystal Creek. Wondering if the road up to both Little Crystal Creek and Big Crystal Creek and Paluma is ok. I do have a 4WD. And if the water is easily accessible (due to a few oldies). Be nice now.
