Winter Days

Silver Wattle

Hello again.  I’ve had to endure a few frosty mornings of late – but that’s the price I have to pay to get to enjoy our beautiful winter days.  The wattle is in full bloom, waterways are still running,

Black Soil Gully

birds abound

Pale Faced Rosella

and the country invites you to come and enjoy the open space and beautiful weather.

The office roof is supporting a new white satellite receiver dish.  This gives my visitors digital TV reception which adds to the wireless internet access provided by my grey satellite dish.  I know it is great to experience the peace and quiet of country living  but most visitors like to have some contact with the outside world while in residence.

TV and Internet reception available

I have a new bitumen road frontage and the car park is ready for sealing.

 All have wheelchair access provided..



In recent weeks roller blinds have been fitted to all my windows for warmth and security.

The office building is to the left of the carpark and has wheelchair access.

Cool afternoons are drawing customers to the bonfire area where wood is supplied and our tenants in Alston House are making good use of the gas heater supplied in the eating area.

Camping area with wood supplied for the bonfire and BBQ.

Maybe during your stay or any time by arrangement if you are a local, you might like to browse our small library.  Aren’t these cooler days just the best time to cuddle up with a book?  Do you have a wildflower or bird you wish to identify?  Our reference book collection may be able to help you out.

A Bitumen Road Frontage

My front entrance with ablutions block in the background

Hello again.  I'm overjoyed with the arrival last week of a Regional Council roadworks team to give me a bitumen road frontage.  Once they are gone - NO MORE DUST!  In addition, I hear the BVCDC management committee has been able to organise to have my car park sealed while the gang is here - an added bonus.

My grounds are also benefiting from a top dressing of loam removed for the roadworks but there's some work ahead of my volunteers.

Even though the Boyne Valley is pulling on its winter coat...

I always enjoy my view across the town...

And the beauty of my gardens.

Welcome All

Welcome!  Let me introduce myself.  I am the Boyne Valley Community Discovery Centre.  I am nestled in bushland in the tiny rural township of Ubobo in Central Queensland. 

Established on 3.21ha recreation reserve, I'm an accommodation centre with in-house accommodation for 36 individuals in dormitory style accommodation in historic Alston House - a lovely old Queenslander with five rooms which can be shut off or opened to meet your individual needs.   Or...

...if you are self-contained there is plenty of parklands where you can put up a tent, park your motorhome or caravan and simply enjoy my peaceful surrounds. 

 Maybe you'd like to avail yourself of my clean, modern, ablutions facilities.  If you ask my managers this can be easily arranged. 

        

      My covered outdoor eating area constructed of rugged bush timber has an adequately equipped kitchen, gas barbeques tables and chairs.  There is also a wood barbeque in the grounds beside a bon fire area which is able to be used weather conditions permitting.

If it's a meet and greet area you are looking for to sit and chat with fellow travellers or address your group then I have wooden tables scattered around the grounds, a large shade-covered deck and of course the covered eating area too.
