Hi Wazza,

My brother and I look like we are going to come up from Sydney and we are unfamiliar with the Broweena area. Can you recommend any local hotels or are we better off planning to camp.

best regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,
Brooweena is a very, very small town approx. 30mins west of Maryborough on the Maryborough-Biggenden Rd. and there is no accomodation that I'm aware of in Brooweena. Maryborough is a large town with many accomodation options. Probably best to use the NRMA accomodation guide if you wish to stay in Maryborough.
If you want to camp (we all do) the property is great with plenty of grassy paddock just begging to have a tent pitched on it. Just remember to bring EVERYTHING with you including water for drinking and washing. If you need directions to the property please ring me (0741224604). I don't want to put the directions on the web as we may end up with a situation where anybody could turn up on whatever weekend they choose and we loose use of the property as a result. Hope you understand.

Thanks for the enquiry, hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers,
Wazza.
