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.

Granite Belt - 2nd to 5th May 2025

A short little 3 night trip out to the Granite Belt Staying at Mountview Wines. There was an early winter cold snap but we were warm enough once inside the Rooftop Tent.

Our Little Queensland Trip - 29th July to 2nd Sept 2024

For a little over a month we toured around parts of Queensland taking in regions such as Cunnamulla, Charleville, Quilpie, Longreach, Winton, Lara Wetlands, The Gemfields, Rockhampton & finally a few days camping in Burrum Heads National Park Kinkuna Section.

Bargara, Cania Gorge, Bunya Mtns - Feb 2025

We were able to get in a couple of weeks firstly to catch up with friends in Bargara, then to travel on to Cania Gorge again & finally a few days in the Bunya Mountains

Cania Gorge - 4th to 9th April 2023

2nd trip away, this time to Cania Gorge Tourist Retreat in the week leading up to Easter. Had another great time away in the Xplorer, and very comfortable. Great walks & both birdlife & other nature in abundance. Loving this for our travels.

Mibanbah Black Rocks - 19th to 21st April 2024

This trip was supposed to be the start of our Waterfall Way, Girraween adventure. Instead, on only the 2nd night, John had a fall and with a very sore wrist we decided to head back early. A hospital visit confirmed that there was a Scaphoid fracture so now we will not be travelling until his arm is out of the plaster.

North Stradbroke Island - 10th to 16th June 2026

This is a place we have visited on many occasions over the years but we hadn't been back since 2018. Definitely good to be back.

This was just a quick weekend trip down to Fingal Head as time allowed. We enjoyed 2 nights at the Fingal Head Tweed Holiday Park.

OReillys Rainforest Retreat - 20th to 22nd April 2026

Only a very short trip as we unfortunately had to cut it short due to illness

Bunya Mountains to Bargara - 7th to 14 February 2024

For this week away we spent 2 nights in the Bunya Mountains, 1 night as a freecamp at the Historic Theebine Hotel, then 4 nights at Bargara.

Teewah Beach - 21st to 25th Sept 2023

This was our first true off grid beach trip away & also the first since Johns Myeloma diagnosis & treatment began. So it was particular of value to us & once again the Hardkorr Xplorer did not disappoint. We were very impressed with how well it towed on the sand also.
