Cockscomb
provides a quiet retreat
away from the city, away from all
mod cons, a quiet relaxing place to
go when you want to get away and
get back to basics.
Staying overnight, you will require
your sleeping bag, camp stretcher,
swag or hammock, a torch, matches,
food, toilet paper and a rubbish bag.
Mosquito repellent and your
medication.
We have completed the first of two
Log Cabins and the And Awakey
House for overnight stays.
Cooking can either be done on an
open fire or in the kitchen. A
RAYKEN heating system has
improved the amenities by
providing hot water 24 hours of the
day |

Cockscomb Veteran Retreat came about from an idea that was
developed some four years
ago, between a number of the Vietnam Veterans in the Central
Queensland area.
The Veterans came up with a plan to develop an area somewhere
in the bush as a
reasonably isolated camp/retreat. A place where fellow veterans
could go, when things
were getting tough, or when they felt the need to be out
of it and alone for a while, or the
need to lean on someone for moral support, or find someone
that could walk the walk, talk
the talk and understand the burden.
It was promoted as
an idea amongst interested parties.
After some discussions within our own ranks and with Bruce,
he offered us the use of a
section of land on some 60 acres he has, in an area known
as Cawarral.
An old gold mining
and farming community, approx 20 km’s from Rockhampton;
half way between Rocky and
the Capricorn coast. This was considered to be an ideal
location and the gracious offer was accepted. |
 |
Cockscomb
Bush Camp is set in
the hills on the southern side of
Mt Wheeler.
Road access via two- wheel drive
and only 30 minutes from
Rockhampton.
After staying take your rubbish
home, replace firewood used,
cleanup and leave a donation.
There is no electricity or phone
and you are asked to be careful
with and conserve water. |
