We provide 10 spacious campsites next to Blackburn dam that has two rock jetties to allow fishing for barra, mangrove jack, spangled perch, eeltailed catfish and other native fish. There is also redclaw and cherapin so bring your yabbie pots. Campers have access to a modern amenities block which has flushing toilets and hot showers. There is a powered camp kitchen for communal use. There is a bush track to a creek where we allow fossickers to pan for garnet ,sapphires ,zircon and gold. Big skies that are great for stargazing and abundant birdlife in a peaceful setting provide a backdrop for your next getaway. Cattle graze the property with the occasional donkey guarding the herd as we don't kill our dingoes. There is prolific bird life and 7 types of wallabies and kangaroos as well as other wildlife in several ecosystems. The property is located about 3 hours from Cairns or 1 hour from Cooktown on a sealed road. Once you turn off the highway, access is 4.5kms on a gravel road. The town of Lakeland is just 8kms away with a hotel ,roadhouse and coffee shop. We are within an hour of Cooktown and Laura if you would like to do a daytrip to the historic towns.We provide 10 spacious campsites next to Blackburn dam that has two rock jetties to allow fishing for barra, mangrove jack, spangled perch, eeltailed catfish and other native fish.
