PEACOCK CREEK CAMPING AREA






     A                                                        Pademelons and frogs emerged

                   half day trip from
                  Brisbane is a beautiful
                                                              and crowded in around the
                  gem of a campground in  campers sitting around their

                  the Richmond Range
     National Park called Peacock                             fires.
     Creek Camping Area.


     With Peacock Creek trickling
     past around the outer
     boundaries of the loosely

     defined camping areas and a
     lovely little shack in the middle
     with its own fireplace that is

     handy in wet weather, it quickly
     became apparent how wildlife
     friendly this
     park really is.


     As soon as we
     pulled up we

     were greeted
     with willy wag
     -tails and blue
     breasted fairy
     wrens

     swarming the
     car much to
     the delight of

     the kids. Soon
     after, a
     Goanna
     crawled past

     barely a meter from where I                              Basic but very well
     was sitting with a Satin Bower                           kept amenities adorn the
     Bird hot on his tail squawking a  campsite with bushwalks

     warning to the other birds                               through the rainforest a couple
     around. After dark, fire flies,                          of kilometers away.
