Platypus Point

A perfect camp site overlooking the upper Brisbane River, with easy access to the waters edge makes this a great for water activities, we used the supplied kayaks to make our way down stream to the gravel run for a swim and explore, Lexi & Kieren are perfect hosts with good communication and a very well maintained campsite. Highly recommend this one.

Platypus Point was a great retreat on the waters edge. Lovely view of the river and complete privacy. Plenty of birds and activity in the water. Kieren went above and beyond with comms.
