Broadwater camping area
Campsite
Endangered riparian rainforest lines the clear waters of Broadwater Creek, and open eucalypt forest dominates the visitor areas in Broadwater campground, 47 km west of Ingham and 16 km of unsealed road from the forest entrance. This is a cool and pleasant place for family camping, with a large grassy picnic area and plenty of wildlife, including the vulnerable rufous owl and the spectacular, but endangered, southern cassowary. Look for saw-shelled turtles and white-browed robins along the creek banks. Check road conditions during the wet season (Dec–Apr) when roads may be closed temporarily. Drive carefully as logging trucks also use access roads.
