Short of calling them yet myself in the next day or two, are these guys still operating their camp?
Used my wife's facebook to check but not much happening there. And the previously working(?) website goes to under construction.
Looking to head out that way somewhere this weekend for a swing maybe.
Cheers

I stayed out there a couple of months ago. They had installed a portable toilet and shower with hot water and the place was cracking along. There were about a dozen others, mostly from one group, and another prospector beside myself.

I just checked Hipcamp and the site is still active so give it a go. Only 10 mins from Durakai, a very nice, peaceful place to stump up for a couple of days.

Cheers

OH...just re-read the Hipcamp page and it states they are not accepting bookings at this time.

They were having problems with some complaints from unknown quarters about them running a camp ground so maybe they have been beaten by the system.

Go figure....

Hi, looks interesting and very generous of you to allow fossickers ?

Just wondering where Thanes Creek is?

 

[DanielMaranello]

Jason it's west of Brisbane, 30 minutes west of Warwick. It is one of the main prospecting areas available to Joe Public in Queensland.

Their website is down, itll be a shame if they arent operating anymore.

 

[LONEWOLF]

Big Rain in the past few weeks and days....Might have something to do with it... Thanes ck area is flooded... Very wet ....

LW....

This is the reply to my question 'Are you open for business?'

Hi, yes and no. We are a smidge of an inch of council approval. They are coming out here Thursday. Hopefully Ill have all approvals then and no more merry go round.
Regards Jane

Hope this helps. :Y:

 

[Timoty94]

Any updates on the approvals yet mate ?

 

[Jaros]

They finally got the campground through Council - what a feat.

Bookings are coming in for Australia Day with the week starting Saturday 22 January going through to Sunday 30 January.

Our campers will have plenty of entertainment; starting with the farm pets, the goats (Tilly, Nige, and Goat-T) and providing some TLC to our new miniature mare, Lacy, and her little filly Sophie. Then the fun begins with a game of cricket (visitors vs Thanes Creek), followed by a sausage sizzle.

Well done :clap: nice to see someone have a win erfect: Sounds like a well organised event all the best for the celebrations and going forward :beer:

 

[Jaros]

I have asked them about facilities like toilets/shower/Laundry-wtg reply.

 

[RM Outback]

Jaros Harthill are registered as Newbie's maybe give them a call and ask them to login and give us an update

Definitely worth supporting this amenity :Y: even though I'm in Victoria I'll hopefully get there one day

It's taken them a few years to get their authorisation to set the camp up the way that they want. Basically I suggested a toilet and shower facility. Most of us are self sufficient with solar power and water tanks. They had also told me no campfires either-don't know what happened with that.

It's been a long red tape road for them and I hope they do well in a proven area. It's the nightime Airforce jets testing or taking off that can take some of the enjoyment out of it-but I must say the open sky and stars are magnificent.
