Captain Logan Camp Review
For more information:
The Captain Logan camp is situated on the banks of Lake Wivenhoe, approximately 90km (1.5 hours) out of Brisbane. The camping complex is signposted off the Brisbane Valley Highway, turning onto Hays Road (Wivenhoe Hill). From here the road runs a short distance until you hit the first left, Logan Inlet Road off which you will find the campground well sign posted.
There is an office at the entrance to the camp that houses a ranger who will check bookings and sell you ice, firewood and fishing permits (from Friday to Sunday). There is a power point behind the office that can be used to charge boat batteries and also power outlets in the amenities block that can be used to charge mobile phones and laptops (although they will not operate hairdryers etc).
There are 57 camp sites in total, all of which are unpowered and six of which are appropriate for caravans and camper trailers (see the link below for more specific details). The sites are numbered and allocated upon booking, and each have a designated parking space.
The campsites arch around the banks of the lake in a gentle semi --circle and is designed so that each campsite gets a good view and easy access to the water. Camp sites typically face out over the water, making for tranquil and beautiful views at dawn and sunset. The area is teaming with birdlife and at dusk, the trees come alive with the friendly chatter of rose-breasted Galah's. There is also a healthy population of kangaroos around the campground that can be seen drinking at the water's edge or relaxing in the shade of a tree or picnic tables!
This is comfort camping at its best, boasting flushing toilets, hot showers, rubbish disposal, electric BBQs and even its very own cricket pitch! There was a marked lack of creepy crawlies in general, and the toilet blocks were clean and bug-free. The grounds are neat and well maintained with the open grassy areas making it well-suited to families.
This is definitely the place to come in the warmers months if boating, paddling, fishing and swimming are musts on your camping list. The water was invitingly cool and the gentle earth banks made accessing the water for boating and swimming very easy.
This is a popular and well-known spot though! So if the idea of sharing close quarters with other campers doesn't light your fire, then you may want to make your trip mid-week and away from the holidays! The close quarters and lack of scrub between the open campsites means that you don't have a lot of privacy from your neighbours and noise can be an issue from larger groups. Keep in mind that you're also likely to need to book well in advance around holidays and peak periods.
Overall, Captain Logan Camp was fantastic, and If you like your camping with a side of creature comforts, then this the perfect spot to spend a few nights relaxing by the water's edge and watching the local wildlife!
Maryborough, Qld. A Walk in the Park
Say hello to Maryborough - a town steeped in history which tells the tales of its captivating colonial past mixed with an artistic vibe everywhere you go. You can explore its stories from the past through striking art, statues, heritage buildings, memorials and museums surrounding what was once one of Australia's largest ports.
Don't forget to jump into the magical world of Mary Poppins in the birthplace of author P.L Travers. A short stroll through heritage-listed Queens Park will lead you to Cherry Tree Lane and the statue of Mary Poppins perched next to the 136-year-old building where P.L Travers was born in 1889.
While you're in Queens Park, take a look at the statue of Duncan Chapman, the first Anzac ashore at Gallopoli, who symbolises the rich military history of Maryborough. Keen to learn a little bit more about Maryborough's military past? In the portside precinct is Australia's finest military museum outside of Canberra and across the street a tippler tells tales of tasting liquor at the old Bond Store.
