This is rural Australia at its best. Just under two hours from Gladstone and Rockhampton in Central Queensland’s Callide Valley, stay a while at our caravan park: Discovery Parks – Biloela.
If the kids love cow counting, Biloela has the largest number of cattle in any Queensland shire! Take them to Kroombit Tops National Park for some frog counting, too; this park is home to the endangered Kroombit Tinker Frog, so you may spot some of these little guys on your visit. Venture to Mount Scoria, a rare 150 metre rock formation that produces a delightfully musical sound when struck with another rock, or relax at Lake Callide, complete with birdlife and fishing.

The Biloela Discovery Holiday Park – very large and well maintained with lovely gardens. The park is along the same street as the VIC which runs parallel to the main highway. We were not allowed to take photos inside the park but I must say the staff were very friendly and helpful.
This park has been built over 16 acres with plenty of room for large motor homes and 5th wheelers. It is within walking distance to the main shopping centre with a range of cabin accommodation - they can provide mining accommodation services. There is a Dining Hall, a large undercover entertainment area, barbeque facilities and a pool.
There are a range of grassy, shaded sites for caravans and campers - powered and un-powered.
