Love Yowah - sounds like the new CP owners (or newish since I was last there) know their business! Great to see a free camp supported by a caravan park - but then, it is such a small place, it needs to be welcoming

Loved our stay there, found a couple of pieces of boulder on a wander through - not much, but a souvenir.

We stayed at Quilpie also - at the CP - beware if you are there over a long weekend - everything shuts down by noon on Saturday - so make sure you get fuel etc. beforehand.

We were lucky in that the owner of an opal mine gave us permission to do some fossicking on their claim - got ourselves a huge rock covered in opal - just beautiful. Make sure you go to the church - opal covered alter, lectern and font - beautiful! Also a trip up on top of Coke Bottle Hill (or bottle top hill) gives you an overview of the surrounding country. A game of golf at the gravel links is another interesting part of the town. The bakery is (or was) owned by a lady who was a world champion ringer (shearer). There is also a Pub with No Beer - owned by a religious group I believe.

Gday...

Yep ... a fantastic place is Yowah .... loved my stay there - ditto all Spida and Jules have said.

However, whilst it is a little place, I doubt it is "a little place that nobody knows or has heard of" .... they get 1,000s of travellers a year - and during the 'winter months' it is a fairly busy place - both with travellers and miners who leave for summer and come back each winter.

A couple of photos to also whet ya appetite Shekon
