Mackenzie Park, Queensland

Next stay after Biloela we headed west where there was at a free park (donation) at Duaringa's Mackenzie Park, showers, limited water, toilets and a big area to park the motorhome or caravan in.  The town of Duaringa has about 260 people, so to provide such an area to park free in, is just wonderful.












A Ficus tree above and below is some of the area where motorhomes and caravans park for the night, photo taken in the morning when most people have left - we did too but later in the morning.

  1. Beautiful! I never knew ficus trees grow so large. I have 3 small ones in bonsai pots.

    1. Bonsai is always beautiful as you can grow the tree to your own liking.
      Yes, we have some rather large ficus's growing in many areas of Australia.

  2. The free park probably pays for itself with what visitors spend locally. Perhaps some other towns should do the same.

    1. Not that many towns do do it unfortunately, mostly it would bring money into the region if they did.

  3. A town with only 260 people?
    That shady spreading ficus is beautiful.

  5. The ficus trees look noble and energetic. It must be great fun to stay there surrounded by them.

    1. Those trees act as shade because even in the winter it was rather warm there.
