Clothes Peg Country Cottage

2 sites · Lodging64000 acres · Porcupine, QLD

Clothes Peg is a family-owned beef cattle station on top of the Great Divide, north of Hughenden in North Queensland. We offer the Country Cottage, a lovely cottage beside the main house. It is very basic, but has its own bathroom and toilet/laundry facilities. We are close to the Blackbraes National Park, so if you would like to visit the Park, and still have a few creature comforts, this is the place to stay. Country Cottage is located 7km off the Hann Highway, which runs north from Hughenden through to The Oasis, Lynd Junction. The turn-off is about 160km north of Hughenden or 120km south of the Lynd Junction. There is an awesome outdoor area with a lovely big yard to play bocce, yard cricket, or just enjoy the tranquility. We have hammocks available. Great walks nearby, with bird life, dams and waterfalls to experience. We are located 25 mins away from Blackbraes National Park with its undulating ranges surrounding basalt rock outcrops, craters and seasonal swamps. Why not make a day trip to Porcupine Gorge and see the canyon that has been carved into the landscape by the eroding action of Porcupine Creek. Go for a bushwalk or have a swim. In the wider section of the gorge, the creek has also created the Pyramid, an isolated monolith of multi-coloured sandstone. Pets on leashes are welcome. Campfires are permitted.

Waterfall glamping in Queensland guide

Overview

It’s easy to find a camping spot to suit any interest in a state as large as Queensland. With 7,000 km of Pacific Ocean coastline and a richly diverse interior of everything from ancient rainforests to arid outback landscapes, you'll find plenty of options. Choose from some 1,000 national parks, forests and other protected areas, and a host of other camping sites. From the golden beaches and green hinterland of the Gold Coast in the south to the rugged loneliness of Cape York to the north, and the extraordinary Great Barrier Reef offshore, campers are spoiled for choice.

South East Queensland

With the state capital Brisbane as your starting point, head to Queensland’s first National Park, Lamington National Park (established in 1915), for cooler climes and ancient Gondwana rainforests. The south-east’s subtropical climate means lots of sunshine, perfect for any camping trip.

Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef

Cairns

is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, with island and mainland camping to suit all, with a choice of 19 National Parks. Don flippers and snorkel and hit the water, explore the 165-million-year-old

Daintree

Rainforest, or head inland to the wonders of

Undara Volcanic National Park

to camp near ancient lava tubes.

Sunshine Coast

Living up to its name, the Sunshine Coast basks in its many natural attractions, from 100km of beaches to forested hinterland. Spot koalas in Noosa National Park, take a kayak up-river to camp in the Noosa Everglades, or head north along the beach in the Great Sandy National Park. The volcanic peaks of the Glass House Mountains National Park offer hikers and climbers a challenge.

Whitsundays

From Airlie Beach, take off for the green islands of Whitsunday Islands National Park or stick to the coast, exploring Conway National Park, where you may be joined by rock wallabies. Despite its holiday atmosphere, it’s easy to get away from it all. The best islands for hiking and camping are Whitsunday Island and Hook Island.

Southern Great Barrier Reef Region

Straddling the Tropic of Capricorn, this somewhat under-rated region has much to offer. Visit in summer for turtle nesting and hatching at Mon Repos Conservation Park, or head offshore to Lady Elliot Island. The main towns are Bundaberg and Gladstone, but it’s worth checking out the coastal villages of Agnes Water and 1770 or heading inland to explore the trails and gorges of the spectacular Carnarvon National Park.
