Sandy Creek Camping, Queensland

Settled in 1866 by Mr. Robert Brown. The land supported his family in a timber slab walled house. Originally had an earth floor with some flat sandstone rocks in areas, (most likely was the media room :). For water, dry wells were dug and timber lined. (Reminance is still in-situ).

The farm is now used for beef cattle and a small amount of dry land hay production. Still rearing families, we want to leave the land better than we arrived and farm in a sustainable practice.

Pets welcome however must be under control and not chase cattle or wildlife. There is another camp in the paddock, your dog must not be aggressive.

*Please notify us if bringing a dog*

 Please clean up after your dog ready for the next camper.

Monitor your dog closely and tie up if necessary, (particularly if you have 2 dogs). We’ve had ‘stock proof’ dogs here before that have relentlessly chased the cattle through fences/roads and into the distant unexplored land.

Fires permitted only in fire-rings provided. Check for local fire ban restrictions first.  There is plenty of wood lying around for use (bring your axe or saw).

The camp has an undercover area (6x5), longdrop loo, fire pits, bbq plate for over fire.

There is a raised bath tub to set a fire underneath and have a long hot soak. (Fresh bulk rainwater is available in the extras).

There is a floodlight in position in the trees, run it off a generator and lead if you want. ( I can provide a generator and lead in extras if you need).
