About the host, Sue George
Member since September 2017
We are an artist couple, living in the forest of Queensland's Scenic Rim. We have a cabin and studio nestled at the foot of a granite ridge. Most days we spend painting and pottering. Ian is a keen walker with experience of most Scenic Rim walks including Mt Barney. Sue is a fan of fresh local product, the Shed Cafe and all things art. We both love to travel and we love camping, so we often host friends and bushwalking groups.

Ian and Sue were great hosts. Communication prior to arrival was excellent. Ian greeted us with a cup of tea and lots of information about activities we may wish to do. Firewood, toilet paper, drinking water were all provided. Our hosts even offered a free night because of the rain.

Ian and Sue, thank you for sharing your wonderful property with us. This was my first Youcamp experience, and I could not have felt more welcome. I hope to be back someday soon!

We camped in the isolated clearing which was perfect for us - peaceful and secluded but with many thoughtful provisions, including plentiful supplies of drinking water and firewood. Sue was a very helpful, interesting and convivial host. A great camping spot within easy drive of Mt Barney.

What a wonderful location! The peace, the trees, and facilities made this an exceptional camping experience. Ian and Sue are wonderful hosts; a warm and engaging couple who balanced beautifully our desire for rest and solitude with warm hospitality and good conversation. We will certainly return!!

Another magical visit: thank you to our wonderful hosts. The facilities make camping a delight and nothing beats the trees, the birdsong, the animals we observed and enjoyed some wonderful close encounters. Returned to suburbia renewed and refreshed. Huge thank you!
