Northern tableland property with a boundary on Tenterfield creek. Open creek flats running back to timbered hills and gullies. Part of the Donnybrook range which straddles the Queensland/New South Wales border. The creek is on one of the major waterholes on Tenterfield Creek with the lower section being shallow rapids with small rocky pools. It supports native waterbirds, wildlife, & platypus have been sighted. The property has been sensitively cleared with areas of open woodland & dense tea tree & wattle scrub. When the season is on there are many native wildflowers & flowering plants. Kangaroos & wallaby are often seen. Dog friendly. No amenities so campers need to BYO everything they need and leave no trace.Northern tableland property with a boundary on Tenterfield creek.

Tranquil Stay at Tenterfield
We had an enjoyable winter camp at Paul's property. We did not see the sun for over 3 days and temperatures barely got over 10 degrees, however we still had an excellent time in a beautiful and quiet location. Paul's property is far enough out of town to feel secluded and yet close enough for a breakfast and a latte in town. There are many excellent walks within an easy drive and yet the campsite overlooks a creek which can be fished. Paul was a great host who would not intrude but was up for a chat when approached. He was very generous in leaving a trailer load of fire wood which was perfect for the winter stay. If you want a quiet, tranquil getaway but still close to many activities at Tenterfield, then this is the place for you.

Long Weekend
Great site for camping on Tenterfield Creek, Paul is a great host slashed all the camping sites and provided a trailer load of good quality firewood that was more than enough for our stay, good directions and communicator and meet us at the gate on arrival, kayaks and canoes provided which was a bonus and our dogs loved the site.

Beautiful property, creek was awesome for swimming and dogs had a blast. Paul was great, prepared a trailer of firewood for us and let us be. Very private and quiet.

Beautiful, peaceful location. We enjoyed the abundant bird life along the creek. Recent rain has greened the grass, but very sad to see the land still in the grip of drought.
