Sorry guys, it has been a busy last few weeks at work. I have just made up a map of the Banshee Valley area of Gordon Country. It is quite easy to find once you have been there once but our first time there it took ages to find. Someones maps where not that helpful, I can see why he had a Hilux recover him in a certain mag :mrgreen:

The first map is the main map of the area, you basically drive along Inverramsy Road until you see the sign on the right hand side for the Gordon Country Cabins, turn right here on to a small road. It will then go straight ahead for about 50m and then veer left down hill to a creek crossing. There is 2 tracks you can take here, both will get you to the same creek crossing. You will then go uphill to a gate that is front of a cattle yard. If the gate is closed please enter but ensure that you close it. Then you will go forward a little of veer off to the right, past a cabin and then down a small hill. This will bring you into an opening. This is the Banshee Valley camping area. I usually camp near a small demountable block that looks like it could be a toilet but is not. There is a nice camp fire under some trees next to the creek. This area is a large open area but with plenty of cover.







Anyway I hope these maps help.

I have sent off the email to Sue at Gordon Country with those that have confirmed that they are coming, I have also listed them below. There seems to be only Dave coming on the Saturday. Might see if we can meet him at the turnoff to the cabin area???

GWF, when u double post if no one has posted after u, at the top of the page next to the edit button u have a delete option and u can delete that second post. It only works on the last post in a thread though, so if u realize straight up just delete away, hope this helps.

Hi Guys

I received an answer from Sue at Gordon Country re the prices. PLease see the below posted email from her.

HI Daniel
Does evryone know to go to Cabin and take road immediately through gate to right -they do not go over the next creek crossing in Banshee but camp on right hand side. The cabin turn has a very large sign where they turn into cabin area.
Do you have someone organised to collect firewood -we do sell large bagged firewood for $15 bag or of course it is free if you collect.
As mentioned some people prefer to pay electronically to save bringing cash so for those who do price would be
$19 per adult for 2 nights which includes free hot showers. Children $15 Sorry I can't discount these prices further but I am happy to discount the 4 wh driving from $20 vehicle for the 2 days to $15 . There is good yabbing and swimming holes and some great walks and trails.
Hope this helpful
cheers
Sue

If you would prefer to pay electronically please let me know so I can let Sue know otherwise please ensure you bring enough cash along to pay her when she does the drive around.

Rick I will give you a call tomorrow mate, sorry it has been one of those new weeks but I finally see light at the end of the tunnel.

Cheers Dan

Re: Gordon Country Camping Feb 12th & 13th 2011 -

For those like me that haven't been there.


From Brisbane you just have to make your way onto the Cunningham Highway -
From Ipswich Motorway at Riverview turn off onto the Cunningham Highway and follow for about an hour.
Turn right at Allora-Goomburra Road, Gladfield and follow for about 8 minutes.
Bear right at Inverramsey Road, Goomburra and follow for about 10-15 minutes to Gordon Country. 
We are at 1847 Inverramsey Road. 

GPS Details:  Lat = "-27.987916" Lon = "152.279520"...

Judging by the warm night weather we have had in the last few days, I don't think we will be needing any firewoods. :mrgreen: I night even have to sleep in the nude... :shock: :lol:
