Think there might be a couple more on the list Rosie.....my gosh you have done and brilliant job of keeping this list.
Think Boynedale Bush camp CAW6 #107 might also in the running as well and possibly more.

You can scrap Kenilworth Rosie, it'll be b.loody freezing at night there.
And St Lawrence is too far north...distance/moneywise.
I forgot about Elanda Point being non pet friendly.

I think Wongi State Forest Park might be a non starter.
Booking at least six weeks in advance is a big ask for lots of folk, who need to have a bit more flexibility. What do you think?

Probably, I thought also of Amamoor SF but can't see where I posted it
EDIT:
You might want to throw Amamoor State Forest into the mix as well.
This area still won't be that much warmer in winter.
Cheers,

Isn't Amamoor going to be too cold for some as well - have stayed at Cedar Grove - has toilets and cold showers - and heaps of bush turkeys. I liked the area.

We have quite a list now, and while Travelbug and Beth have committed to check some of them out, I don't think its fair to expect them to check all of them, and we need to whittle it down to just one definite spot.

If anyone has any further places to add to the mix, I think we need more than a place name and a Camp6 number. Photos would be good, enough details from the web or personal contact that will enable us to make a decision on the forum.
We are looking for :-
Queensland- see map for areas 7,8 ot 14
June
free or low cost
water to look at (coast, creek, lake or river)
dog friendly
easy access - short gravel road ok
water (at least for washing)
accommodates large vans

Even though Cobb & Co is more southerly, it is more towards the coast, which is always warmer than inland.

We may have to scrap Boynedale...
a/ access road sounds a bit iffy if it's been raining.
b/ need to be totally self sufficient, and it sounds like some nomads are not.
These are the places Pam & I will check out in January...
1/ Cobb & Co.
2/ Paradise Dam.
3/ Wongi SF.
I have been consulting with my sister and hubby, as they are very knowledgable. Particularly in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
Even though it seems we'll scrap Wongi, I want to have a look anyway for my own knowledge. It's not that far from my sisters anyway.

There are several camps that I haven't mentioned because there's a time limit on your stay. eg: Calliope River Rest Area sounds lovely, but there's a 48 hour limit on it. 48 hours may suit some people, but not others.

Can some one make a decision!A camel is a horse designed by a commitee! I will go anywhere you think is alright. The pardise dam sounds nice as I am a fisherperson(being politicaly correct). It would be nice to meet some more GNS. Bill

Its not till next June Bill, There is plenty of time, and as happened with Greens Lake could be changed at the last minute. Who knows what other suggestions will come up in the new year. I will just wait till the decision in made and turn up.

I think if the timing might affect ones ability to attend, now's a good time to have their own input ..
no hurry here whatever ..

i think we should avoid last minute changes by getting the best fit destination.
As time is not a factor right now - we have till June- we can work through lots of suggestions, one of which is now Bill's preference for a fishing spot.
We are now looking for :-
Queensland- see map for areas 7,8 or14 June free or low cost water to fish in (coast, creek, lake or river) dog friendly easy access - short gravel road ok water (at least for washing) accommodates large vans
I for one am enjoying the conversations around planning this get together, and sometimes the "journey" is the best part.
If anyone is desperate for a decision right now, please speak up.
Happywanderer said
09:16 AM Dec 5, 2011
No I am not desperate for a decision right noe. next May will do for me. Must say though and Jonathan will confirm, the last minute change can be the best decision made as Jonathan found when he came across Greens Lake that I had never even heard of. I will sit back and watch with anticipation.
Beth54 said

I've mentioned this one before, but I've since heard from a friend who recommended it. Further north, so should be lovely warm weather.
#107 CAW 6. toilets, small dogs on leash, BBQs, Big Rigs.

Cobb and Co. No.9 looks lovely, but is not far north of the border. Won't be too warm.
Link is for Cedar Grove, near Amamoor.

Jon
Me too, some time back...does look lovely in the video.
Yes, gave me the wobblies too.
No Marj, too far north for a recce, but far enough that it should be nice and warm in June.
Just to avoid confusion, it's on the western side of the lake, as opposed to the eastern side where the CP is.
And there's Barra, Bill!

So is Bradley Wolf Braeve Heart Retreat now off the list as a potential venue??
There may be, but one just has to be sensible.
Sorry, I missed this question before Rosie. The only info I have is what I gleaned from the Camps book
I doubt it is a concern CC.
Bradley Wolf is still on the list, but I can't recce that far.
Just hoping someone comes on with a report.
Even though we can't really decide on the venue just yet, can we at least decide on the date please? Some people have to plan ahead job wise.
Someone suggested the first weekend of June. Yes/No?
Fine for me.
