点评:What a wonderful little hidden GEM! I travelled from Chinchilla, heading towards Toowoomba to see family. Unable to check in to the Bowenville free camp or back of the pub due to heavy rain, I was directed to the Woolshed at Jondaryan (pronounced John Darren, I am told)
What a wonderful history found here - last privately owned by the Routelge family and touted as the largest woolshed in the world. You have to see it to believe. Wonderful old farming buildings, machinery and equipment from yesteryear as well as a museum with a modest admission (so worth it). Ask Mary-Lou, she has all the answers.
Added to this is spacious grassed camping area with great facilities - amenities block, laundry, camp kitchen and fire pit and pet friendly! How about staying in a quirky cabin or perhaps the shearers quarters - quite an experience, I am told! You will be welcomed by John at the caretaker cottage when checking in.
The place is now managed by Toowoomba Shire and managed very well for caravanners and as well as a function centre. Many regional events are held here with great success - Spring at the Woolshed 27&28 September. Check Facebook for other upcoming events. This place is not to be missed. I planned to stay one night but instead stayed three!
翻译:真是个隐藏的宝地!我从钦奇拉出发,前往图文巴探望家人。由于大雨,我没能入住博文维尔的免费营地和酒吧后面的房间,于是被引导到琼达里安(Jondaryan,据说发音为约翰·达伦)的羊毛棚。
这里有着多么精彩的历史——它最后归鲁特尔奇家族所有,并被誉为世界上最大的羊毛棚。只有亲眼所见,才能相信它的存在。这里有精美的古老农舍、昔日的机械设备,以及一个门票不贵的博物馆(绝对物有所值)。问问玛丽露,她什么都能回答。
此外,这里还有宽敞的草坪露营区,设施一流——便利设施区、洗衣房、营地厨房、篝火坑,而且允许携带宠物!不妨住在一间别致的小屋里,或者住在剪羊毛工的宿舍里——据说是一次很棒的体验!入住时,John 会在管理员小屋迎接您。
这里目前由图文巴郡管理,管理得非常好,非常适合房车旅行者,同时也是一个多功能中心。许多地区性活动都在这里举办,并取得了巨大成功——例如 9 月 27 日和 28 日的羊毛棚春季活动。其他即将举行的活动,请查看 Facebook 页面。这里不容错过。我原本计划住一晚,结果住了三晚!
