Abergowrie State Forest - Broadwater Campground

18 – 20 July 2024

After three days at the beach we headed back inland a short way to the Abergowrie State Forest, still within the Ingham district. We’ve camped at Broadwater before and booked for a couple of nights. The campground is spacious with no marked sites. We travelled along the back roads and arrived fairly early so were able to select a good site.

There are a few walking tracks, and of course plenty of birds to photograph. The campground is beside Broadwater Creek, and you can swim. We chose not to – it was too cold for us. 

Even though it looked inviting,
we knew it would be too cold to swim

Fires are allowed in the designated fire pits so we took the opportunity to use some of the firewood we had purchased down the road at Crystal Creek. The nights were cold so it was nice to cook some bread to have with homemade pea and ham soup, and sit by the fire as night fell.

We decided that our next camp would be in a National Park - this time Tully Falls.
