Hi everyone and welcome to our home — the very special Platypus Bush Camp.
Operating for over 40 years, this bush camp and rainforest retreat is often described as one of Australia’s most unique stays — and it really does feel that way. With a blend of rustic rainforest charm, a touch of Asia and South America in its building style, and a good dose of Aussie humour and hospitality, it’s a place that feels timeless.
Four clear creeks flow all year into an absolutely stunning swimming hole, the largest and deepest in Finch Hatton Gorge.
The camp facilities are off-grid but offer powered sites. You’ll find all the modern comforts: flushing toilets, beautiful hot showers with rainforest views, large camp kitchens with everything you need (including a pizza oven and USB charging ports), and peaceful dining areas where you can hear the creek.
Accommodation options:
– Powered or unpowered sites to suit all setups — some with private decks overlooking the creek, some shaded, some sunny for solar.
– Tent-only sites on the grassy area near the main fire pit (no vehicles on the grass; parking close by).
– Three private creekside huts/treehouses with stunning views, comfy beds, and full bedding.
Visit our website to view the full range of accommodation options and the latest site updates.
Pets are welcome if well behaved and cleaned up after.
There’s a central fire pit with seating and a cooking plate, plus an undercover fireplace and dining area for rainy nights. You’re also welcome to bring your own fire pit.
We’re in the Pioneer Valley, just outside Mackay, Queensland, 2 km from Finch Hatton Gorge in Eungella National Park — about 1 hour from Mackay or 2 hours from Airlie Beach along a beautiful drive.
Two or three nights is ideal to explore the Gorge, Eungella National Park, and still have time to relax.
We look forward to meeting you,
Shane and Family

Mighty Fungi Farm is a 24-acre property with a working mushroom operation, orchard, dam and grass fields. We are building an eco-conscious space focused on mushroom cultivation, biochar, composting, land restoration and sustainable farming.

We hope the community will enjoy the journey with us as we grow—sharing space, nature, learning and good fungi vibes.

Our stay at Josie's farm was very enjoyable and she went out of her way to make us feel welcome. We recommend a stay here for the scenery (canefields and rainforested mountains), the many animals, and the excellent amenities.

My partner and 3yr old son stayed here for a short stay. Got to visit and feed all the animals. The host Josie and her husband were beyond accommodating, felt like staying with family, lovely little gift shop to buy souvenirs for family. Farm fresh eggs available to buy as well so dont bother bringing your own.
Our favourite experience was sitting in the yard with the mini goats for a long time in the afternoon with just our family and the goats and allowing time for our son to grow comfortable around them we also loved hand feeding the ginea pigs and talking with the cockatoos.
Excellent camping spot for families or couples looking for some time in the country.

We camped on site 2/3 & 4 with a group of friends, this place is second to none. The facilities are amazing & the staff are delightful.
We were travelling with dogs & the k9’s were well received. This place offers a range of accommodation from tenting/caravan sites with power if you need it , as well as Glamping/cabins./treetop accommodation.
We loved this place so much that we booked another stay before we left.

The grounds are beautifully kept. What a bonus of toilet and shower but also set up for people with disabilities with the wheelchair ramp and shower area. The power sites and water are great for a hip camp . This place is mint and you wont be disappointed. Camp kitchen very nice. Thought it was a little pricey as compared to a caravan park powered site but our 2 night stay with no one else booked in could not have been better. Paradise......

I had a nice stay overall. The place was easy to access, quiet, and comfortable enough for a short rest. Brent was friendly and communication went smoothly. The only thing to note is that the area is close to a meat factory, so there’s sometimes a noticeable smell depending on the wind direction. Other than that, it was a good and peaceful spot to stay.

We loved our stay here. Had the place to ourselves on lovely we’ll kept grass however still would have been plenty of space if there was 5 or 6 groups staying. Amazing watching and listening to the bird life in the mornings and evenings. Had a paddle on the water and watched the storm roll in.
Friendly hosts.

We had a wonderful stay at the Farm! Our host Josie was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Our baby even got to feed the guinea pigs, which was an absolute highlight and so adorable to watch. The farm is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. We also loved the stunning night sky – the stars were amazing! We highly recommend staying here.
