Bivouac Junction is a quiet camp area located just far enough off the main highway leading to Townsville.
It is another that makes our "Quirky List" The entertainment lodge is jamb packed with memorabilia from long ago.
The location is at the junction of two rivers. The Fanning and the Burdekin. The Burdekin runs from here into Dalrymple Lake and beyond that into the sea at Groper Creek, near Ayr.
For the most part Bivouac Junction is a shady camp amongst the trees. Unless, you need sun for your solar. In that case you are on level one or two. A well grassed area just back from the river front.
Occasionally, all facilities are under water as a result of river flooding. But, it needs a significant amount of water to cause that. Check photos in the lodge and office. Its a great place to relax and have a fish.

I used to live and work in Townsville, some 20-odd years ago. Work often took me to "Charlie's Trousers" (Charters Towers), so I would have gone past this place a fair few times, but never even knew it existed. There was also a gold mine out past the Burdekin, which was a two hour flight away. Looking down from the plane, I could see why it's called "The Channel Country".

One of the mines is at Ravenswood. North East of Towers and near Dalrymple Reservoir (Burdekin Dam) Been there a few times now. 2 of the most magnificent pubs of the era in Ravenswood.Glad you enjoyed the vid. If just for the memories.

@@haitch1980 The mine I went to closed, shortly after my last visit. That would've been mid 2002, if I remember correctly. I might pass by Townsville again, but will use the bypass. lol Lots of good stuff in the general region, but Townsville is too heavy industrial for my liking.
