JAMES NORMAN HEDGES PARK

Public BBQ

Tucked away in the charming town of Helidon Spa, James Norman Hedges Park offers more than your typical BBQ stop. The well-maintained barbecue facilities pair perfectly with shaded picnic tables, making it ideal for everything from quick lunch breaks to extended family gatherings. What sets this spot apart is the overnight camping option - complete with running town water on tap, a genuine rarity that camping enthusiasts will appreciate. The conveniences don't end there: clean toilets are just a short stroll away, and when you need supplies or fancy a cold drink, the local shop and pub are a pleasant 600-metre walk across two babbling creeks. It's the kind of place where a simple BBQ lunch can easily turn into an impromptu weekend getaway, especially with Queensland's reliably pleasant weather encouraging you to linger just a bit longer than planned.
