Getting There

Access to Trafalgar is from the Gregory Development Road (Charters Towers to Clermont Road) 22km south of the Flinders Hwy intersection - see Google Map below. Turn west and continue 27 km on a formed unsealed road to the Trafalgar entrance. The route is easy to follow on the RACQ map "Rockhampton Mackay Gladstone" QDM5. The route is suitable for 2WD and caravans, but may be a bit rough in places. If there is any change in road conditions we will inform you here -  it is suggested that you check the day before. Access on the station will be 4WD and we will carpool to minimise damage to the station roads. Just a reminder that the weekend is fully catered at $100 per person, which includes camping fee and all meals from Sat dinner to Monday breakfast inclusive.

The station owners are Jenny & Roger Landsberg their phone number in case of emergency is 4787 6677 - mobile reception, even 3G/Next G, is unavailable at the homestead, but is available on the way there.
