Peach Trees - 17th to 19th February 2023

This was our 1st trip away in the Xplorer. We decided that we would go to Peach Trees because it was relatively close to Brisbane. We are glad that we did go there, as it is a beautiful camping area. And we were just as pleased with the Camper Trailer too. It towed beautifully, was quick to set up & had everything we needed.

Peach Trees Camping Area is a popular camping spot located in the Jimna State Forest, which is situated in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland region of Queensland, Australia. The camping area is located at the end of Peach Trees Road, approximately 21km north-west of the town of Kilcoy. The Peach Trees Camping Area is a well-maintained and scenic campground that offers visitors a peaceful and relaxing environment surrounded by natural beauty. The camping area is situated in a scenic location in the midst of tall eucalypt forest and offers visitors the chance to enjoy a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and swimming in nearby creeks.

There is an abundance of wildlife including reptiles, birds & mammals. Kangaroos are commonly seen in the area and can often be spotted grazing near the camping area. We saw many with joeys. There is also plenty of birdlife around with over 120 species of birds in the region, including king parrots, rosellas, and kookaburras. Birdwatchers will have plenty of opportunities to spot these colorful creatures. And we also saw a number of large goannas around the camping area.
