Broken River

Reviewed By wasmit-4 - Alice Springs, Australia

There are 8 spots available. Internet booking. Only number 5 will fit an alpine with some careful manoeuvring!! (31 ft). Would not advise caravans or big motorhome unless you were a logging truck driver in a previous life!! Platypus in the mornings and evenings. Very quiet at nights. Short walk to the river. Bring your own fire wood as it is all softwood here and not supposed to cut in a national park. fire places provided. Drive in is single lane but stable surface. Toilets walking distance. Lots of rainforest birds. Would be great for family visit but if booked out you have neighbors only 20m away. There is plenty of opportunity to take a quiet walk into the rainforest along the river and you won't be bumping into people along the way. Short walk to the fancy resort for dinner once it opens again.

Eungella National Park

Reviewed By joniquelife - Australia, null

We went up to Eungella National Park to try and get sight of a Platypus at the Broken River ???? They are so cute the way they dive for food then resurface again and repeat. We saw heaps of them, you are guaranteed to see a platypus in this location! We did the lovely Palm Grove Track which is approximately a 11 return hike and after we had a yummy burger at the cafe nearby. Such a great day out with great views and sights! “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.

Cape Hillsborough National Park

Reviewed By joniquelife - Australia, null

We took a lovely little afternoon drive up to Cape Hillsborough National Park. Magical little spot with amazing lookouts covering every angle of the coast and out to Wedge Island which was a stunning walk but make sure you look out for the tides when you walk over! Picturesque forest walks, caves and you will see heaps of kangaroos ( the best time is early morning) “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.
