Platypus Bush Camp

The Bushcamp is situated in the beautiful lowland palm-rivine rainforest of Finch Hatton Gorge in the Pioneer Valley outside Mackay, Qld, just 2km from Eungella National Park. The Bushcamp was established 18 years ago as a campsite with a single hut, and has now grown to offer three timber-slab huts, the Bus-camp, well equipped kitchen/ galley, & dining hut, small bush bar (BYO) to lean on, firepit, and nature library. At night you can sit back by the campfire amidst the trees, or make damper and billy-tea by the soft flicker of a kerosene lamp. There is a crystal-clear Platypus viewing pool and a huge rock swimming pool. You can lie in bed from the huts and watch platypus play, spot birds and other wildlife, or enjoy swimming in pristine waterholes.
