Had an absolute wonderful stay down by the lake at Tremayne. Fantastic hosts Neil & Joss, guide you to your campsite and swttle you in for your stay. Heading down to the lakeside is some steep downhillbsections and if your towing a van need to take some time to manuvre vehicle etc, but well worth the the stay if you have the skill. Thanks again guys, we'll be back maybe after our lap in 18mths. Cheers Darren & Julie

Weekend Trip to Hilltop Farm, Camping and Glamping.

Our group really enjoyed our stay at Hilltop Farm. Eight members of our Brisbane ham radio club were able to see 360 views of the horizon, put up our antennas and make contact with the world! The amenities were as described, and we had visits by friendly horses and a very polite dog. We agreed that this will become an annual event and we will definitely be back next year!
