July is a great month for activities and events.. it seems lots of people (like us), love to rug up and get out and about without the oppressive heat and humidity that we live with for so many months in Qld!
If a 'Christmas in July' function is a possibility for your business, corporation, organisation, sporting club or group - then there's still time to make it happen! AND/OR any event or function that's on your radar.. 🎅🎉
The best event planning in our experience, always starts with the right venue so if you're after what really does meet every brief....look no further.🧐
The surrounds of silence in amongst true Australian bush is the background for our really big beautiful venue, Rivergums Barn. Yes it really is as big as a barn!
If optional catering AND accommodation sounds like a great combination for you, then Gordon Country is the perfect option.
Set in a pristine bush setting with a commercial kitchen, bar & the best open verandahs you can imagine.
Catering to suit all budgets and heritage or modern accommodation to make your celebration stress free and as comfortable as can be.
Check it out!😄

👉Hey happy Saturday everyone! Wintery and wet yesterday for sure, but that made it easier to avoid chores!
Sunny vibes today so it's back outdoors to catch up..😉
And while these Camping Hacks might not be on your mind this weekend - like every other well thought out 'hack', they can make life easier on your next outdoors adventure..
Probably very familiar to lots of our campers, but if you're a newby, then we hope you find something useful. 🤗

👉 Shoe organizers hung from a tree or tent pole make great storage space for small essentials like flashlights, bug spray, or utensils.
👉 Strap your headlamp around a water jug for a soft, glowing tent light.
👉 Water bottles of various sizes make great ice packs. Dual purpose of keeping food cold and providing drinkable water as they melt.
👉 Foam floor tiles are a real must in your tent (especially in winter) for a padded, warm, and clean floor—the kids will love it.
👉 Pack duct tape by wrapping it around a water bottle or trekking pole for emergency fixes.
👉 Toilet paper stored in coffee cans or zip bags will stay clean and dry.
👉 Natural repellants sage or rosemary burned in the campfire repel mosquitoes and smell amazing.
👉 Clip a tarp to trees or your car using binder clips or bungee cords for extra shade or rain cover.
👉 Glow sticks in water bottles make great nightlights or are helful in marking guy lines and pathways at night.
👉 Take a stash of cotton pads pre-loaded with petroleum jelly and store in a tin— great as waterproof fire starters.
👉 Create DIY handwashing station with a large water container + bungee cord + soap dispenser + towel.
👉 Use a hanging mesh laundry bag as a dish-drying rack.
👉 Try lining your cooler with reflective windshield shades to boost insulation and keep food cold longer.
👉 Pack spices and oils in straws or Tic Tac containers to save space when packing and in your cooking area.
👉 Set up a mini ‘camping control center’ using a folding shelf, bin, or table keeping all your essentials in one place.
👉 Use microfiber towels—they dry fast, are lightweight, and take up barely any room.
👉 Store eggs in a bottle (pre-crack them at home) for mess-free breakfasts.
👉 It helps to dry wet shoes or boots overnight by stuffing them with crumpled newspaper or dry rags.
👉 Store eggs in a bottle (pre-crack them at home) for mess-free bre akfasts.be the perfect fit for lots of fellow campers. 😃🤠🏕🌌

How's your Friday going folks?😃 Looking forward to 5 o'clock??😉
We are.. 🍻
And we hope you're having a great week and if not, then it's the weekend's job to improve it..🫶🤗

👉CAN WE GRAB YOUR ATTENTION.. To all our incoming guests next week and visitors to the Main Range area.
We have received notification that Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service will be participating in an aerial baiting program coordinated by Southern Downs Regional Council, targeting wild dogs and foxes in the area.
Their advice is that baits will be distributed by helicopter along select boundary sections of Main Range National Park and Mt Dumaresq Conservation Park ON the 2nd & 3rd of JUNE.
A commercial dried meat bait will be used which is highly toxic to domestic dogs.

PLEASE keep your beloved pooches on leashes at all times if you're in that area to avoid any chance of them picking up baited food. 🐶🐾🐕🐩

Well it's a misty Thursday morning here at Gordon Country, no substantial rain as yet. SE Qld and across central Qld and NSW certainly have been very dry indeed so the farming community are welcoming the moisture.
Thinking there's was probably a few moist faces last night after the footy!🥲
Teaming rain and a controversial call put wet spectators on the edge of their seat as a great lead by Qld was whittled away with a player sin binned!🙃🤓
Sport hey.. winners and losers and while one side's happy, that leaves one side miserable.
Congratulations to NSW on winning this one.
Come on Maroons - you played so well with 12 players so imagine how it goes with a full team.. 2 to go!🏈🏆

Have a top Thursday everyone - try and find a dry spot and if you're along the QLD NSW coast, you're doing well if you can get any washing on the line!😁

Footy fever folks and that big interstate contest kicks off tonight at Sydney's Accor Stadium.. Maroons v Blues.🏈🏈🏈
The 2026 series will be the 45th annual best-of-three for the men's RL teams. Before this series, Queensland has won 25 times and New South Wales 17 - with two series being drawn.
The Melbourne Cricket Ground hosts the 2nd match and Suncorp the 3rd.
Best of luck to both teams but hey, we're Queenslanders so we're waving that maroon flag!
Maroons
