Tingha Gems Caravan Park/Tingha Sands

To give you an idea, Canungra is only 15min away from me. .. So a short run up to Cunningham's Gap. ...  Now,  Instead of turning at Warwick, Head out towards Inglewood, you turn off before Inglewood into Stanthorpe/Inglewood rd, then into Greenup Rd, then to Texas, then Ashford, then Bukkulla, then Inverell. Most is 100kmh instead of the stop-start 50kmh at every Town.... Just watch out for 'Stinky' Wallabies... Greenup Rd area is notorious for them.. My count is 3 Wallabies and 1 bulbar and Guard so far... Man they are a solid and they STINK...

Still looking at a good 4 hours to Lowmead so probably worth the extra 30 mins to New England area.  I think we'll head down to Emmaville / Torrington area next and explore that area.  Looks like some nice areas to camp although seems a lot of areas that used to be available are hard to get to these days.

Yeh know what you mean.... turn off is at Warwick and head west.... Have you had a look at Lowmead (Amethyst and Smokey) that is only a few hrs north of you... Stanthorpe is a bit of a hit and miss... Most areas are on Private property and the other areas are pretty much dug out as well...

Thx Gemster.

I thought it may have been a back way missing Warwick.

In my younger days I was comming home from a run to Stanthorpe in a Holden Shuttle van.  One of our other service techs had a shortcut to Loganlea so I looked at the map and plotted a course via Queen Mary Falls to Boonah.  It looked like a nice straight run.

The 2 hr run took about 3.5 hrs.  Most of the road was dirt.  Down the range was a loggers track that saw 50% of my spare fluoros break and part was two wheel tracks over some padocks.

But what I saw of the scenery was magnificent.  King parrots abounded and I saw the 1 & only Wedge Tail Eagle I have seen in the wild take flight across the road in front of me and off the dive off the cliff I was driving along.

Mrs Flash would have kittens if we were to do the run now.

Regards
Flash

 Sounds like a Fun trip...    That has the 14 river crossings on that road ?

Luckily it was the dry season.  But it would make a great trip for a 4wd.
