HI Daniel
Does evryone know to go to Cabin and take road immediately through gate to right -they do not go over the next creek crossing in Banshee but camp on right hand side. The cabin turn has a very large sign where they turn into cabin area.
Do you have someone organised to collect firewood -we do sell large bagged firewood for $15 bag or of course it is free if you collect.
As mentioned some people prefer to pay electronically to save bringing cash so for those who do price would be
$19 per adult for 2 nights which includes free hot showers. Children $15 Sorry I can't discount these prices further but I am happy to discount the 4 wh driving from $20 vehicle for the 2 days to $15 . There is good yabbing and swimming holes and some great walks and trails.
Hope this helpful
cheers

Directions on how to get to the Banshee Valley area...
The first map is the main map of the area, you basically drive along Inverramsy Road until you see the sign on the right hand side for the Gordon Country Cabins, turn right here on to a small road. It will then go straight ahead for about 50m and then veer left down hill to a creek crossing. There is 2 tracks you can take here, both will get you to the same creek crossing. You will then go uphill to a gate that is front of a cattle yard. If the gate is closed please enter but ensure that you close it. Then you will go forward a little and veer off to the right, past a cabin and then down a small hill. This will bring you into an opening. This is the Banshee Valley camping area. I usually camp near a small demountable block that looks like it could be a toilet but is not. There is a nice camp fire under some trees next to the creek. This area is a large open area but with plenty of cover.
Any and all are welcome, the more the merrier!
