About our Stay

We went on a quick overnight trip to get away from Hervey Bay and to introduce Jan to a Camp Oven Dinner, which is not something done in Germany. Jacinta and Jan took their bikes and rode 30 km on Saturday, and then Jan rode back to Hervey Bay on Sunday. I joked with him that my ride was much more comfortable and in air conditioning.

About our Weekend away

It was just what we needed: a quick overnight getaway, sitting around a campfire, enjoying a few drinks, doing some camp oven cooking, and telling bad jokes. 

The last few weeks have been rather hectic, with a lot happening around us. Taking 24 hours away from home was the perfect way to clear our heads.

About our weekend away

Our two-day getaway to Hidden Gold Homestead in the South Burnett region was an unforgettable experience. The picturesque location on the banks of Bjelke-Petersen Dam, surrounded by ancient forests, national parks, lakes, and rich farmland, was the perfect setting for a wine-tasting adventure. We visited some small family producers passionate about their award-winning wines, and were impressed by the quality and variety of wines. Cloverly Estate Cellars and Dusty Hill Vineyard. The South Burnett Wine Region is truly a hidden gem, and we left feeling grateful for the experience and eager to share it with others. Hidden Gold Homestead Bjelke-Petersen Dam
