Mt Mee State Forest camping trip

Hi all,

We took the kids camping last weekend, to Mt Mee north of Brisbane. This was the first time sleeping in a tent for the kids, so lots of excitement! We got lucky with the weather, because it's pouring with rain this morning.

Here are a few photos from the trip. Neurum Creek is near the campground, and there were several good short walks in the area.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Stephen

It looks like you all had a cracker of a time under canvas – I trust the kids enjoyed their big adventure. Your photos make it look a very tranquil place and the camp fire shot is a classic!

Cheers

Dennis

Thanks Jeanette. I guess Mt Mee is just down the road from you.

Thanks Dennis, and yes, the kids are looking forward to the next camping trip! That "campfire" shot is actually just a candle - we didn't take any firewood on this trip, but will make sure we do next time.

Cheers,
Stephen

LOL! Thanks Stephen! What is that bug-eyed creature just above the candle? It looks like a frog up on its forelegs, with huge eyes!

Cheers

Yes Dennis, it is a frog. Its name is "Good Frog", and it goes everywhere with my son! It's actually a very well travelled frog - it's been all the way to Europe and back!

Cheers,
Stephen

Bet your glad you didn't leave it until this weekend Stephen!

Beautiful spot - we stumbled upon it on a day trip last year, but with 2 young children couldn't explore too far. The old sawmill shed was fascinating.....

Not wrong Rob - we've had 155mm on the last 12 hrs, and 287mm in the last 48 hrs! There's about 6 or 8 km of unsealed road to get in to Neurum Creek campsite, and my little Astra would struggle in this weather!

Cheers,
Stephen
