Harrys Hut - 28-29 Sep
Posted: September 6th, 2013, 1:44 pm
The weekend of the 28-29 sees us heading to Harry's Hut, which is situated on the banks of the Upper Noosa River. This is National Park Camping and more information can be found at http://www.nprsr.qld.gov.au/parks/coolo ... nd_day_use.
This area is at the beginning of the Cooloola Way, surrounded by State Forest and a little drive to Teewah inland tracks and beach. Saturday would involve a drive through the state forest after setting up. On Sunday, low tide is at 9:30, so if people are interested we could plan a trip to the beach, however this would require a beach permit. Otherwise we could continue to explore the surrounding area.
The deatils
Where: Harry's Hut, Cooloola National Park
Costs: $5.45 per person per night (Bookings to be made through NPRS website). There are limited campsites (9 in total) so I would recommend booking early
Standard: Predominantly Blue Square but hopefully we will find some interesting tracks
Meeting location: BP Service Centre Morayfield - 8:30
UHF: Channel 13.
Extra Info: Post if you are interested in beach driving as we will need to prebook beach permits ($10.70 per day if booked online). As it is national park, there are no pets allowed and unfortunately no fires at the camp site either. If you have paddle craft, the Upper Noosa River is a nice little place to explore, the Narrows are quite spectacular. But be warned, there are shark sightings even this far up stream so swimming in the river at the campsite is not recommended by the Ranger.
