Can anyone recommend a nice free/alternative camp spot about halfway between Townsville and St Lawrence please. I am going down the Bruce, so not too far of course please.

We found a lovely place, inland from Mackay at Boulder Creek. It was so nice that we stayed a week. Coming from the north, turn at Mt Ossa towards Mt Charlton, then follow through to the creek. There's a flushing toilet, plenty of shade and a crystal clear running creek. If you're not short on time, it's well worth the detour.

Well it looks like the masses have cast their vote and Boulder creek is the popular choice. I spose it will have to be BC then, otherwise I might get stoned at dawn by the masses. Spose a stone is better than a boulder.
KFT, your vote sounds good too but if I go too far south I might just as well go to St Lawarence the first night.
I am trying to stop off about halfway as I originally said. Over all this 12 hour, 900+km days.
