Management and I were travelling to mid western QLD, and had to stay overnight.  We decided that we would stay the night around Kingaroy.  We parked for the night at the Soren Hansen Bridge on the Stuart River.  Beautiful quiet spot. (site 513 in Camps 4)  Toilet only no water but lovely and quiet.  To get there take the road out of town till you get to the southern end of the Golf Club.  Turn right - 3Klms further on to the river.  Large grassy area - very peaceful and quiet.  20 hours max stay.

I'm writing that one in my little book, sounds lovely.

ARE THERE ANY FISH THERE?Only joking, my sister lives at Proston. SO I know the area well. Good red claw and reasonable fishing in Boondoomba. you cancamp by the dam

Thanks bill intend going to boondoomba some time... need a feed of redclaw.. is it a free camp, and if not do you know how much it costs per night?   cheers pete

I seem to remember that it was $10 a night for an unpowered sight, and dogs, controled, were allowed. I had a red heeler named Barney,and we had a great time, also caught a few nice bass.A boat is really needed if you want to get to the best spots. The kiosk has all the basic foods, and Proston is 10klms up the road.John boy is charging $20 to go to see Joe,s grave at Bethany, but you do get a cup of tea and a pumpkin scone.

We have local flooding, but had a great xmas dinner under my mates house.Might be down for Oz day as my sisters want a family meeting at PT Lookout, on Straddy. Will drop in if I can.
