Boonoo boonoo NP

An easy drive north eat of tenterfield with a lot of interesting history
Fred Ward ( captain thunderbolt ) "bailed up" quite a few at the boonoo gap , his old hideout looking down the valley is signed and an easy walk to visit..

The same area contains tank traps placed there to slow a feared Japenese invasion .. so important was this little gap in the mountains.

The park itself is readilly accessable by car and has a few campsites about 14 km (dirt) in.

Pics... boonoo falls is a very spectacular place easy access
Banjo Paterson while courting used to bring his future wife here.
