Burke and Wills found beauty here on their journey through in 1861; now, take your turn when you stay with us at Discovery Parks – Cloncurry.
Our caravan park is a great base to explore ‘The Curry’. This is the birthplace of the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), launched by Reverend John Flynn in the 1920s. Learn how Flynn harnessed the emerging technology of pedal radio to pioneer outback communication. Stop into the Mary Kathleen Memorial Park and Museum to view Robert O'Hara Burke’s water bottle, local history and photographs, and a celebrated rock and mineral display.

We stayed overnight at the Discovery Park while visiting Cloncurry in Queensland. It is located on the Flinders Highway on the eastern side of town with easy access. Our powered caravan site was on a beautiful shady grassed area with plenty of space to relax. The site was level and we were able to drive-through and leave the car hooked on the caravan. Other accommodation available at this park are un-powered camping or caravan sites and self-contained cabins that sleep up to five people.
The Discovery Park has a well-appointed camp kitchen, pool area, barbeque, internet access and a free laundry (it was free during our stay so hopefully will be when you visit).
The park supplies a large number of cabins for miners who work in the area and they invite you to join the evening smorgasbord dinner for a small fee - a good meal and night off cooking.
