If you look at Camps6 and then open WikiCamps both on Kandanga you would think that they are discussing totally different places. Camps advise self contained vehicles only for 24hours, big rigs and dogs whilst Wiki tells us 72hours, toilets, drinking water 2WD access and all vehicles allowed, phone and internet available, fire places, swimming, fishing, table and seats plus more.

As it happened the driver for Camps was visiting Kandanga and taking photos for Camps8 so they are definitely aware of this site and confirmed for me that Camps8 is being prepared and will be out early next year. Lots of furphies abound expressing the view that camps had been sold to a caravan group who would suppress it, not to be.

Coming from the north there are two ways to get to Kandanga you can leave the Bruce just after Gympie and follow the signs 25kms  through the Mary Valley, a beautiful drive, Or you can keep on the Bruce and look for the Kandanga turnoff and if you get to Pomona you have passed it. I did the former at the suggestion of Cruising Cruze and they took the latter because they hadn't used it.

I did some Aldi shopping in Gympie, the first time in Aldi range for months whilst up north so it was good to take advantage of their keen prices. Arrived at Kandanga just after John and Marjoleina and set up for a few days, just later Dennise arrived for an overnight stopover. I had been invited for dinner with J & M and was treated to a full meal and even got takeaway for tonight in the form of surplus chat potatoes ready for me to add peas and a piece of fish and not to forget the white sauce.

There was a massive happy hour near by in a fixed fire grate surrounded by metal seats, was too busy to visit but if it is on tonight I will be there. J & M left this morning and later after a morning walk Dennise departed for more family duties. This is an excellent location and the comments in WikiCamps are glowing in their praise of Kandanga. All the shops and the pub are easy walking distance.     John
