HAYS LANDING

Public BBQ

Tucked along Lake Wivenhoe's shoreline, Hays Landing delivers that rare combination of stunning natural beauty and practical family facilities that makes you wonder why you don't visit more often. The BBQ areas are perfectly positioned to catch those legendary Queensland sunsets - and trust me, they're worth the drive alone. What struck me most was the genuine tranquillity of the place. While the kids splashed about near the water's edge, I found myself genuinely relaxed for the first time in months, watching kangaroos emerge at dusk like clockwork. The facilities are refreshingly well-maintained - clean toilets at the entrance and proper BBQ setups that actually work. The real magic happens after dark. With virtually no light pollution, this spot transforms into an astronomer's paradise. I've rarely seen the Milky Way so clearly from anywhere this accessible. Whether you're here for a family barbie, a fishing expedition, or just to escape the suburban grind, Hays Landing gets the balance exactly right between unspoiled nature and practical amenities.
