Thursday 25th – Sunday 28th April
(Thursday Anzac Day – public holiday)

Pomona Caravan Park
Pomona Showgrounds
15 Pavilion Street
Pomona
Ph 07 54851477 Karen

Karen knows we are coming, but due to this being a public holiday weekend could everyone wishing to attend please contact her to confirm numbers sooner rather than later.

Cost $35 per night for two people (but hopefully $30 club rate), $30 per night for one person ($28 club rate) including power and water. Camp kitchen but no fridge. If you are a single please ring Marion and she will pair you with someone to share a site if you wish.

Not compulsory to do the four days/3 nights. Please let Karen know what you wish to book.

Looking at local Cabins/Hotels in the next fortnight for those who don’t camp and will attach information to BQ Camps Web page.

Reccy not done but anticipate Lake Cootharaba, Mount Cooroora, Tuchekoi NP, possibly Cooloola NP (for ground parrots) to be on the agenda.

Any other suggestions gladly received as I haven’t birded this area before.

Dinner Saturday night at Pomona Hotel.

For more information which she doesn’t know, please contact camp coordinator:
