Tenterfield

20 – 23 October 2024

We left O’Reillys and drove back through Canungra, Beaudesert and Boonah, then back onto the Cunningham Highway. We collected the camper trailer from the caravan park in Warwick and then stopped at a small free campground at Dalveen to have a quick lunch. While we were there we decided to make Tenterfield our next stop so we called to book a site at the caravan park we have stayed at a couple of times before. 

We then continued on towards the New South Wales Border where we crossed into a daylight savings time zone. Queensland steadfastly refuses to adopt daylight savings which makes it very difficult for those living and working near and across the borders.

We arrived in Tenterfield and set up on a very nice spot with some bushes and trees around, and easy access to the amenities. We stay in Tenterfield when we can because Mick has been given access to a great birding spot on private property which is looked after by a local group. Staying fairly close by allows him to get out there early in the morning and go back again for a late afternoon session as well. We had intended to stay for two nights but extended to three. It’s good that we have the flexibility to do this.

While we were in Tenterfield we restocked again – we can’t really carry too much – and started to plan our next destination – Girraween National Park.

There are a couple of nice drives
which give great views of the area
