Adels Grove Qld

Adels Grove is a remote caravan park about 10km north of Lawn Hill NP. It offers non powered sites as well as serviced cabins, meals and a range of tours throughout the area. In 2016 I worked on staff here and ran bird outings, the most popular being a two hour walk along the short nature trail during which all the below species were found. The main feature is the Lawn Hill Creek and not far away is the Louie Creek, also of interest is the grey water outflow that lies in the scrub to the east of the park.

Camp rating 10 but it costs.
