Broadwater (Abergowrie State Forest)
Broadwater Campground
A creekside campground in the rainforest northwest of Ingham, with clear Gori Creek for swimming and forest trails where rainforest birds can be seen.
Broadwater lies about 45 km northwest of Ingham in Abergowrie State Forest, a popular creekside campground on the edge of Girringun National Park, where tall eucalypts meet rainforest. Gori Creek forms shallows and pools beside the campground, perfect for cooling off on a summer day. A rainforest walk of about 1.5 km and a creekside loop let you see many rainforest bird species in the early morning, besides cassowaries. The campground has toilets, hot showers and barbecue areas, and sites must be booked through the Queensland National Parks website. The final stretch is a gravel road that may close after rain.
