Gday...
Ditto ... and it is VERY popular .... not a very large area either ... I called in to stay in 2011 and could not find a space.
It would be OK for campervans (eg HiAce to small Coasters) and upto probably 19ft vans but not for anything large unless you are both early and lucky.
It is QLD Site 134 in both Camps6 and Camps 7 ... 48 hour limit.
The attached pics are grabs from Google Satellite.
PLEASE people - more info in your heading. We can spend such a long time looking through posts for relevant info - or having to google stuff! I had no idea where Tiaro is ........

Hi Jules,
It's about 16klm north of Maryborough and 10klms west of the Bruce highway along a good (last time I was there) dirt road. Camps #6, no. 133. Pets allowed but I don't think open fires are (not sure).
Google wongi camping and get to the Qld Govt site National Parks, Wildlife, Sport and Racing.
Cheers,
Jack

After much deliberating I found I won't be going anywhere over the next month. Thought I could do it all but with trip south coming up in a month and only 2 pays in between, I have to get Myrtle serviced and go back into Bundy to get the new windscreen. Hasn 't arrived from Sydney yet. So its a matter of organising the next month carefully so I can afford to get down there for the birth of my new grandson.

Googled Wongi - and got this info - sounds ok - who is interested - dates required -
"Exploring Wongi
Camp or picnic under the shady eucalypt trees. Cool off in a waterhole in summer. For your safety, never jump or dive into the waterholes. Supervise children closely as the water is deep. No fishing.
Two picnic areas, with tables, are provided beside the waterholes. Fires are not permitted. Follow Warrah Road until you reach the signposted entry to the day-use and camping area. Wongi camping area has sites to suit families, groups, caravans, tents and motorhomes. Picnic tables, toilets, cold showers and tank water are provided. Treat water before drinking. Take a fuel stove. Dogs are allowed on leashes.
Camping permits are required and fees ( http://www.nprsr.qld.gov.au/experiences/camping/camping_fees.html ) apply.
Book your campsite online ( http://parks.nprsr.qld.gov.au/permits ).
If you cannot book online, see camping bookings ( http://www.nprsr.qld.gov.au/experiences/camping/camping_bookings.html ) for other options.
Getting there
Wongi is 25km north-west of Maryborough. Head 12.5km towards Childers on the Bruce Highway then turn left at the signpost (the last reliable mobile phone reception is at this turnoff). Drive 10km into the picnic and camping areas along a gravel road."
And NO - I am not organising this - if you want to go - book yourself in - between 8th and 15th June 2013.
