28.03.13 Fordsdale Farmstay

So Easter is here again.  It means a long weekend with no packing up for 3 whole days which we both think is divine! I had made plans to head to Yandilla … even went so far as to make a booking, but David said it would be busy and we might not get our favourite spot … especially now there is water in Kilcoy Creek.

So Glenn has chosen Fordsdale for our long weekend, as we know it won’t be crowded.  We have the most ideal spot in mind as well.  I couldn’t get a hold of David by phone to cancel, so sent him an email via his website.  I hope he’s not too upset that we won’t be attending.

We are on the road late again for this trip, not actually leaving home till 0900.  We are taking the Kid with us and have to organise our things around him which takes a bit of time.  It means taking less of our things to get in more of his – tent, guitar, extra tarps and ropes, bedding, mattress, clothes, extra food, etc.  Alas we have not made provisions in our usual organising of things for his stuff as well, but we make do.  He is a bit crowded in the back seat.  Our chairs have been mounted on the trailer top and strapped down, so hoping it doesn’t rain on them too much.

We were lucky enough to have a second Queen’s Birthday public holiday this year thanks to the Lovely Anna Bligh (former Qld State Premier).  We decided that we’d make it a 4 day trip instead simply because we could. 

Having ourselves organised early Friday morning, we were on the road by 0810.  The forecast for the 4 day break was occasional showers and storms for Saturday and Sunday, but we weren’t worried … they did say “occasional”.   Traffic was minimal, so we made good time to site, arriving around 0945.

This weekend we were off to Fordsdale Farmstay once more.  I had a few other suggestions up my sleeve for new places to go, but the one we wanted won’t answer the phone when I call or return my messages alas.  So it was up for discussion.  Glenn suggested heading back to Murphy’s Creek and when I threw in Fordsdale and their bush camping area up the creek, he said why not.  It hasn’t been raining for awhile, so we should be able to get there.  With this in mind, I made our booking.

27.04.12 Fordsdale Farmstay ... Pups on the Farm

Manage to sneak in another long weekend, so we looked around for somewhere we haven’t been before, that promises peace, quiet and tranquillity.  Fordsdale Farmstay at Fordsdale promises to be what we were looking for.

We are on the road by 0815 and the weather is forecast for wet, wet with a little bit more wet thrown in for good measure and it’s raining as we leave.  Perfect for camping!
