Lake Maraboon: Fairbairn Dam (Emerald) - 2 stops back!


Situated 18klms from the town of Emerald, Lake Maraboon is a park on the foreshores of Fairbairn Dam. It was very relaxing even though the park is quite big and clearly very popular. The fact we got a site at all was pretty lucky as we understand some visitors book months in advance. We had a great site backing onto bushland for 2 nights and were visited by wallabies and possums which came into the camp ground at night to feed on the lush grasses throughout the park. There are apparently koalas in the area too but we weren't lucky enough to see any. We were also visited by a variety of birds - Take a look a the pictures of the cheeky lorikeets who invited themselves almost into our door!
