Wyllie Park Campground - Petrie Qld

5th, 6th, 7th June 2017


Wyllie Park Campgrounds at Petrie
Free 48 hour camp ground for self contained vehicles.  Great Campground which adjoins a Park that wraps around the river.  A bike path continually winds around the whole park with off lanes to various parts of the town and also continues on to Old Petrie Town.  The park itself was a credit to Petrie and the Moreton Bay Council.  The park itself has every facility you could think of.  Shade, serenity, scenery, paths with distance measurements, toilets, exercise equipment at set stages throughout, great fishing, playgrounds, football field, netball/basketball, skate park, soccer, separate fenced off dog park and in general just a beautiful setting for walking.  It is a 7km return walk, but only feels like 10 minutes.
The best part for me was arriving at 'Old Petrie Town'.  Was not expecting this historical village to be at the end of the trail, and easily spent a couple of hours here just taking a good look around the village.


 


    




The trees had a massive root system.  

 

 



 


 


 


 




 


 


 





You may have to open this video into a full screen to be able to view the fish,  but they were jumping.  And of course there were a lot more jumping prior to me starting to video.
