We will be revisiting the scout campground after a very wet camp
last year. This campground is situated adjacent to the Maroochy
River so opportunities for water and forest birds.
No power for camping but we have use of the scout hall with a
kitchen, microwave and a cold room. This hall offers plenty of
space for dry bird call etc. Showers and toilets. There is a fire pit
so bring some wood.
We will be travelling local roads,Maroochy Wetlands and Wappa
Dam.
