Caravanning & 4WD Adventures around South East QLD

With such a diverse landscape in Queensland, you don’t have to travel far from home to experience some of the best camping, caravanning and 4WD tracks with your Winjana RV 5th wheeler. From beach drives to ancient rainforests, there are plenty of tracks close to Brisbane perfect for day and weekend trips. You will be surprised by just how much of a great adventure you can have in only 2-3 days exploring some of the truly magnificent locations around South East Queensland.

Here we recommend some camping and 4WD destinations which are all accessible with a Winjana RV; however an offroad 5th wheeler would be best to enjoy the tracks to their fullest:

Touring the Scenic Rim

Just 98 kilometres from Brisbane, the Scenic Rim is ideal for an easy day’s drive. Here you can tour a range of breathtaking mountains with bushwalking opportunities and a scenic drive. If you enjoy fishing or water activities then you must visit Lake Maroon, renowned as “South East Queensland’s best freshwater fly fishing destinations”. Located just outside of Boonah, make sure to stop at The Dugandan Hotel or ‘The Dugie’ to meet some of the colourful local characters in this ‘classic Queensland country pub’. Recommended campgrounds are located at Boonah, Lake Maroon Holiday Park, or the very scenic Mt Barney Lodge located just south of Rathdowney.

Surfing around Stradbroke

Stradbroke Island is ideal for a weekend trip in your Winjana RV 5th Wheeler with plenty of things to do and see. Here you can experience the beach lifestyle with the opportunity to surf, swim, fish, kayak and camp right next to the beach. In the colder months when the water becomes too cold for swimming, there are plenty of walking tracks and bush drives to explore with an abundance of wildlife. On the Island you must head to Amity Jetty in the afternoon to see the dolphins visit, as well as Point Lookout between June and November to watch the humpback whales come close to shore. Great caravan parks and camping spots are available on the island. Minjerribah Camping has all the details you need.

The Blackall Ranges

The route through the Blackall Ranges is a spectacular bush drive all year round. Along this AWD drive, there are short forest walks including the Bonyee Walk which is an easy 10-minute track ideal for children featuring a large bunya pine, rainforest and a piccabeen palm grove. Head east from this walk, along Cooloolabin Road to take a break at Cooloolabin Dam for lunch and then stop at Point Glorious to enjoy the marvellous views. Campground facilities are located at Gheerulla, or nearby on the Sunshine Coast.

Cooloola Bush to Beach

Travelling through the western part of Cooloola and into the Great Sandy National Park, the Cooloola Bush to Beach track is accessible from Cooroy and can be completed in a day. Along the way, you can stop at the Doggrell Forest Trail, the Majestic Theatre in Pomona and Harry’s Hut on the banks of the Noosa River. Campsites are located at Boreen Point Campground, Harrys Camping Area and Poverty Point. This trek is better suited for 4WD vehicles, and those with an offroad van, like Winjana RV’s Ormiston 630 or Strzelecki 550 5th wheelers.
