What are your Christmas plans?

[Jason]

I've got 4 weeks off from the 18th of December.

Heading up to Yeppoon to camp on the beach for a week in the New Year, might head out to Great Keppel for a day or two from there.

I will probably hit Bribie Island and Double Island for a few days over the holidays, a couple of day trips to the Glasshouse Mountains and a trip through Condamine Gorge are on the cards too.

That's about all that's planned at this stage, just glad to not be at work for a month really.

I have got 3 weeks off from the 23rd. Nothing major planned, anything that doesnt involve customers and work will do me just fine haha.

 

[SOLID D22]

Got from 18th off till feb 2nd if i want, but will probably go back to work early, just gona take it as it comes this time round, will try do more day trips to the beach at fairhaven and will try squeze in a couple of days camping at cobram on the murray. A little hard this year to do more as olds are overseas and im helping my bro and sis look after our disabled bro.

Nevyn, how's that place compare to Poley's Place? Sadly I could not recommend Poley's Place (about 5 minutes out of Gloucester on Thunderbolt's Way) because of a very poor experience we had there, but we're always trying to find other nice places to go visit.

Sorry I diddn't get back to you sooner mate! I haven't been there before but lots of people keep telling me it's pretty good. I'll let you know what I think when I get back.
Another place I visited earlier this year was Riverwood Downs, we camped (campervan) on an unpowered site. "Brilliant"

Not familiar with Poley's place, is that at Bretti?

Cheers Brad

Poley's Place is on Thunderbolts Way - they have a web site now as well.

The pictures look better than the experience we had. We were in tents and it was an effort to peg the things down in the loose-sand-with-large-pebbles. Back when we went, they had numerous pit toilets around the place. The pits couldn't have been oh, 6 inches deep? They provided a rather unique aroma to remember the place by.

Things might be better nowadays, and with a caravan we'd fare a lot better, but I'm more than happy to avoid a second visit.

Welcome to Knorrit Flat Riverside Retreat

We stayed there a few months back Brad.

It is a great place. Spacious (separate) camp sites so no one else camps 12 inches from you. Great outlook as well as flush toilets and hot showers.

The people that run it are very friendly. We hired a 2 person canoe and a kayak all day for only the 1 hour rate for the canoe. (they were quiet though).

Camping on the river bank will be convenient for a cooling down swim.

I'm sure you will enjoy it.
