Higher Ground Camp - Emerald
1467 Selma Road, Emerald Qld 4720 - is where you will find this little back yard bush camp. We loved staying here at a mere $7/night unpowered. For $15/night you can have power and water. Drinking water available for filling your tanks before you settle in. A 5 minute drive will take you down to the tranquil trickling river that winds around providing a nice afternoon for fishing for throw back small fish and maybe a chance at some red - you must bring your own toilet though, no showers. Totally recommend this place - the animals up near the main house are great to see also.
A short drive further down Selma Road will take you to the huge Lake Maraboon. The dam wall is called Fairbairn Dam - driving over this wall/bridge takes you to the boat ramp. We threw in some traps with our new friends and had a yummy crumbed secret recipe of Matt's coating the red claw caught during the day.
