8–12 September 2010–Brisbane River

After the hustle and bustle of the city, this a such a beautiful, quiet place to camp.  It is on the banks of the Brisbane River, just outside of Kilcoy.  We were given the directions by Laurie, who is also a Kedron owner.  There are two areas where it is possible to camp – one is right down on the banks of the river, and the other is at a higher level and not quite so close to the banks.  Because of recent rains, the river level is quite high, and the lower sites are unusable.  Not a problem though because the higher level gave us a better view.

We had five days of bliss!  Over the entire period, we saw only three other vehicles.  They came in, checked the lower camp sites, and went out again.  How sad!  The birds were plentiful, and some quite cheeky!  Bugs were not a problem, and we were able to sit outside by the campfire both before and after dinner.  We had no problems recharging power even though it got a bit cloudy at times.  There was no TV or NextG signal, but we set up the Sat – just to test it out, you understand!   The main aim here was relaxation and we certainly achieved that.  Just what was needed after the previous couple of weeks and to strengthen us up for the next run at the city.
