Ok – a break from the nitty gritty of the around Oz trip – now a post to prove that we do actually do some camping! When we brought ‘Peter Prado’ we decided to try to get away at least once a month to get our value for money out of owning a 4wd. Our first trip was to Archer Creek Campground in the D’Aguilar National Park. http://nprsr.qld.gov.au/parks/daguilar/camping.html#archer_camping_area
Our setup – yes this was pre ‘Karen Camper’
Archer Creek was great as it was less than an hour from home, there was a creek for the kids to play in (albeit the creek in front of our campsite was pretty yucky at the time we were there but it was only a short walk to the Broadwater Day Use Area with a lovely spot for the kids to swim around in), we could have open campfires and there were heaps of four wheel drive tracks and waterholes/walking tracks and lookouts to explore. Oh – and a bonus – there were toilets and taps!
We had Matt’s brother and the kids’ cousins join us on this camp which always makes for a good time!
Swim/Bath Time
Campground footy game with the kids from the neighbouring campsite
One of the many good things about camping – the kids do the washing up!
Toasting marshmallow time!
Our first creek crossing! Off to explore the 4wd tracks
Rocky Hole – beautiful swimming spot!
Somerset Lookout
Bulls Falls – easy 1km walk in
‘The Gantry’ – old logging shed. Great picnic area with some easy walks around and the kids loved playing in the dirt here.

And the best bit – tuckered out kids on the way home!
This was definitely a fun and easy weekend camping trip not far out of Brissy! Has anyone else been there? What did you think?
