Lake Broadwater & Murphys Creek

 We stayed last night at Lake Broadwater Conservation Reserve 20k out of Dalby Qld. We arrived mid morning and already there were a number of other campers set up. We found the perfect spot up towards the end of the camping area, green grass, beautiful trees and a great view of the lake. As the day went on many more vans arrived and filled in the gaps. 




$7.25pp for the view was definitely worth it. We used up the last of our firewood and had a lovely fire and chat with another couple before the temperature plummeted and we all went into our vans.  Minus 4 degrees overnight apparently. 

We left the Lake with the intention of going to the Showgrounds at Toowoomba, we knew there was a Show on the weekend but presumed (wrongly) that by Tuesday it would be open to camping. But no … our mistake we didn’t read the site correctly and it’s closed until the 31st. 

Not wanting to stay in a caravan park we drove out to Murphys Creek where the local Tavern allows caravans to stay on the green grass paddock next to the Pub .. we didn’t muck about and we had a nice lunch and spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing ..  for me that meant a Zzzzzz 🤣
