Places and Drives - The Southern Tropics - Broadwater State Forest

Broadwater is a scenic camping and picnic area 45km/28 miles (1 hr) west of Ingham in the Abergowrie State Forest. The cool, clear creek is a popular place for families and school groups to cool off and relax. There are excellent camping and picnicking facilities and several walks through the forest and along the creek. Walks include a 1.7km/1 mile (1hr) Rainforest Circuit and a 3km/1.8 mile (2.5 hr) Creekside Track. Don't forget your binoculars - the Broadwater birdlife is fantastic.
