Coochin Creek 27-11-20

[Big Red]

After a trip home from work to pick up a forgotten item i had dinner then with the traffic gone i headed up the highway towards the Sunshine Coast stopping in at Coochin Creek at around 10 pm. Fires are allowed, no dogs and poor phone signal.


When i arrived i found my pre booked site #2 taken, a van parked in the car space and a large gazebo set up on the grass between the sites and around 20 people having a good time.


i approached the mob but wasnt too keen on moving them and camping in the middle of what was obviously a large family gathering so after a bit of a chat with the organiser of the sites i used one of the remoter sites [#10] they had booked.

The site beside #10 had commandeered the fire pit so no campfire for me.


Mossies and sandflies were about so i had to drop the net over my bed.


toilet block was pretty modern with flushing dunnies ... flash as !


Stick Case Moth had left its home on the ground, ... weird looking nest


plenty of Goannas about


there is a fishing platform beside the camp with access down to the water in a couple of places but the boat ramp is further down the road.


not a bad spot for a nights camp and i headed off north around mid morning.
