Waterfall Views

2 sites · RVs6 acres · Glenvale, QLD
Our property is located in Glenvale a suburb on the western fringe of Toowoomba, Queensland. It is an unique suburban acreage and yet a private site on either side of a spring fed permanent creek which meanders through the farm with its babbling waterfalls. There is a rockpool next to the waterfalls. The gentle churning of the crystal clear water in the falls is heard and seen from the perch atop the creek where the camp site is located. The creek meanders on and under the rustic covered 40 feet bridge as it leaves the farm. The farm has chooks, goats and of course Daisey the jersey cross belted galloway cow. They are a friendly mob and give good company! The treed farm has many spots along the shady tree lined creek for camping. Access can sometimes be difficult after heavy rain so please check with your host beforehand. For bike enthusiasts there is a biking trail that encompasses the property with two creek crossings. The creek lends itself to short distance canoeing for about 50 to 60 metres in 2 stretches. We have introduced fish fingerlings only recently in the creek and hence no fishes yet! The farm has two antique wooden carriages which are undergoing renovations as weekenders. Though campers are welcome to view them from outside they are not yet ready for use and are cordoned off. The new Coles shopping and Westside Bunnings are only a 3 minute drive and the local Eustondale Golf course next door. The property is a private little haven at Toowoomba's Doorstep with its own microecosystem that combines the four seasons of Toowoomba weather. Campfires are allowed outside of fire restrictions and only in the firepit provided. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash at all times.
