Along the pristine coastline of Queensland lays the Discovery Coast, nestled between Bundaberg and Bagara in the South through to the town of Rockhampton and Yeppoon in the North. On the way from Bundaberg, you will drive through Sugar Cane fields, cattle pastures and wide-open roads, which are so well-known for Queensland. Immerse yourself in the relaxing drive to “Traveller’s Rest 1770”, conveniently located on the main road to Agnes Water. The ideal location offers campers easy access to their campsite, whilst immersing themselves in a real Australian bush camping experience. Our unbeatable location, surrounded by tropical gardens and lush bushland, invites our guests to connect with nature and themselves. Our family-run campground is the closest access point to Eurimbula National Park, with its endless sandy beach and lookout walks. Agnes Water is only six kms away and offers everything a Traveller’s Heart could wish for.

When leaving Agnes Water to the North, you will pass little country towns and might end up in the state’s engine room – Gladstone or visit the Calliope River Historical Village. The beauty of travelling is, you never know where the road will take you!
