Mt. Carbine’s Savannah Oasis

Spot tawnies in the trees or warm up by the campfire ahead of your Cape York adventures

Relics reveal Mt Carbine Caravan Park’s mining identity but this Savannah sweetheart is more famous for birdlife–neighbouring a private reserve.

Near the Great Dividing Range, Tablelands, Port Douglas and Cooktown, it’s a great base or a stopover if you’re Cape-bound.

4WDers will find treasures like the swimming hole via the seasonal Mt Spurgeon Track or views at Mt Mulligan.

Apostle birds hop about your large shaded camp as you warm by the fire–just watch for key-thieving bowerbirds.

“We have a lot of birdwatchers … we’ve been planting accordingly,” Nikki for Mt Carbine CP explains.

“Mornings we show where the tawnies are for the day.”

Visiting Cape York without the van? Mt Carbine Caravan Park will store

it free of charge if you’re staying on the way up and back. They’ll even chill your refrigerated items!

Camp up on powered and unpowered sites but bring drinking water. Bookings are required. Opens seasonally.
