16.03.13 Land Cruiser Mountain Park

We started out at our normal time.  Glenn had suggested our destination for this trip.  Definitely worth a look as it’s the largest 4WD park in the Great South East.  Heading north along the Bruce Highway, we take our turnoff at Caboolture and head west to Kilcoy.

Traffic is moving well at all stages, but about 2k’s before we take another right, we come to a complete standstill.  It seems that there are some road works halting our progress.  Expected delays are 15 minutes says the sign.  And it’s right.  We pull up in line and wait.

02.02.13

It had been raining last week with Ex tropical cyclone Oswald, so we were expecting that there would be good water in the creek.  It also rained Thursday, so we were hoping that we could make it there.  I’d called David on Wednesday to make the booking and he’d requested we call back on Friday.  When I called late Friday night, he was surprised that we still wanted to come out, but was happy to accommodate.

19.12.12 Yandilla Birthday

19.12.12

Well I’m officially on holidays once more (yay) and looking forward to a few weeks off the doldrums that is employment.  We start our a little later than usual at 0830, but since we’ll be away for a few days, that’s just fine.  The day itself is warm and tending between overcast and sunny, but can’t seem to make up its mind. 

21.07.12 Yandilla Dry Weekend

Finally the forecast was for dry weather if somewhat cloudy at the end of a perfect weather week.  We’ll take it!  Come Friday night we still hadn’t decided or even talked about where to head for the weekend which is rather unusual for us.  So do we head for some of our favourites?  Yes of course we do.  Then it’s just a matter of which one … and Yandilla wins out for Glenn, so I ring to make a booking for us.  I’m happy to go anywhere just so long as we go ... as you should be aware by now.

09.06.12 Yandilla Camping & Farmstay

Planned this trip in advance for a change.  We made our booking at Yandilla even before we headed out last time.  It’s the Queens Birthday Diamond Jubilee long weekend so we were making sure we could get into somewhere we enjoyed.  And David promised to save our favourite spot for us as well. 

14.04.12 Yandilla Camping and Farmstay … Pups on the Farm

I had a few choices up my sleeve for this weekend.  On the last weekend of the school holidays, we were expecting a couple of them to still be really busy.  One had a 2 night policy which we couldn’t fit into our schedule.  After a chat via email with the owner about our dogs, Yandilla it was.

We were packed and on the road by 0810.  Up the gateway motorway, it’s a left turn at Caboolture to drive along the D'Agular Highway.  Once near Kilcoy, we miss our turn on purpose and stop for a sausage roll at the bakery

17.12.10 Peach Trees Jimna

Well we wanted to spend the weekend at Glen Rock again, but it looks like we are flooded out!  Let's try Peach Trees again, but this time we'll stay in the main campground.  It's another long weekend for us and my Birthday on the Sunday as well, so well worth going somewhere nice and green!

We've got Alex with us as well this time, Glenn's kid, so are taking so much extra stuff ... can anyone explain that?  Anyway, we get off a bit late, as we aren't as prepared for this trip as we think - packing wise.  We throw in the fridge freezer as well as the esky ... better too much than too little.  And Alex does eat alot!  Extra bedding, bed, tent, tarps, games, the electric guitar, pillow, a new water resistant box for the timber, a gift for me (yay!), and a Badminton Set ... and it all goes in where ever we can fit it.  I've never seen the ute tray so full!

13.11.10 Archer Camp Ground

We picked up the Swag and it was like new.  Well okay it wasn't as shiny as the others, but all things were fixed.  They'd even noticed a few other things that needed attending to and taken care of those.  Wonderful!  The brakes needed some adjusting ... so they did it, and some covers hadn't been given to us in the first instance, so we now have those as well.   And we were on the road after installing the esky!

We drove up the highway and then deviated at Wamuran, heading down Campbell Pocket Road.  Alas, there was a detour about 1/2 way along, but we weren't disappointed to find the views along this detour were stunning!

31.07.10 Peach Trees Campground

Months in the planning and then after a five month wait, it's finally the day we collect our new Aussie Swag camper trailer.  To say we were excited is a bit of an understatement. 



We really must recommend Aussie Swag Campers to everyone.  They put up with our phone calls and emails, and made the hand over very easy.  A fantastic family business!!  Thumbs Up from us.


This is our dream camper.  Swing out kitchen, comfy bed, canvas over our heads.  We love it.  There will be many places that we will visit over the years of using this camper that it will become a second home for us.
