Great time of the year to be in North Queensland , I think the southern leave far to early to head home and miss the best time of the year to be in the north .

Just a thought - maybe this list could also be put under the "travelling with pets" section too. Great list.

Thanks so much, we are heading up next year so will use this list. Those who returned south in Sept/Oct definitely returned too early, a few warm days surrounded by cold weather down here!

A lot of you Southerners have bolted now.

Went past foreshore van park this morn.

WOW.. near empty.

They all gone home to save for Christmas I reckon.

then they'll all be back again.

It'd sooooo good living where the Southerners come to for winter.
Saves a zillion dollars in fuel and park bills.

We just have to go a little further for Prossie and other dams.

BARRA, and BASS.
