Booloumba #2
"Lookout"
by
HawMorFords
Located at the Booloumba View
lookout which is a short, but steep, drive along a dirt road from
the nearby Booloumba Creek camping sites.
This cache has been placed due
to the nearby 'Booloumba View' cache being abandoned. The cache is
well hidden at the above coordinates and is a fairly large, well
stocked ammo box.
DIRECTIONS: The nearby camping
grounds are located about 6 kilometres from the Maleny - Kenilworth
Road. Take the Booloumba Creek turnoff which is about 6 kilometres
from Kenilworth. (Be sure NOT to take the turnoff to Charlie
Moorland camping grounds).
You will go through three creek
crossings on the way though they are usually passable by
conventional vehicle... if there has been recent good rain in the
area then the 4WD will be required.
There are three camp grounds
and a day use area for picnics with barbeques - Camping areas 1 and
3 are for tents only and you will need to book online at
https://www.epa.qld.gov.au/parks/iaparks/gds/IAGDS020.do?parkId=21.
Grounds 1 and 3 have campsites
close to a running creek and camping ground 4 is a large open
grassy area which is great for large families /
groups.
Check out the information at
the above site to make sure you are covered though a couple of
notes that may help.
Camping ground 4 is the last on
the left and immediately before the steep climb to the lookout. So
whether you plan to make a day trip of it and do some bushwalking
while there or camp out for a few nights, we are sure you will love
the rainforest, bushwalks and birdlife.
Enjoy the views
