Albert River Bed & Breakfast
Nestled between the Albert and Logan Rivers — Alberton, Queensland
WE’RE BACK!!! So are the kangaroos.
More improvements are underway and planned for the not so distant future. It has been a tumultuous 12 months which required temporary closures. Thank you for your support and understanding.
FUN things! We are in the process of adding to our ‘out station’, for those not familiar this is where the fun happens. Murray makes awesome dampers. Camp ovens get filled and cooked on the coals, wonderful aromas fill the air. Records, yes those vinyl things, get put on the player and music floats across the paddock. Marshmallows get lightly toasted, roasted or disintegrated on the fire. The odd one or two alcoholic beverages may get consumed. Dancing and singing usually follows.
The ‘out station’ consists of ‘the old beech shack’ and the ‘camp kitchen’ and the ‘wool shed’, so far! Another building is under construction, most likely it will be called ‘the watering hole’. Anyone staying is welcome to mosey on over and have a gander. We have heaps of firewood all chopped and ready for you to light a fire. Boil up the billy and have a cuppa. The ‘swinging’ BBQ is there for you to throw on a snag or steak. Or perhaps a fish you have caught off the pontoon could be placed in the coals.
Don’t forget we have our boat ramp if you want to bring your boat. We still have availabilities for Easter. Hope to see you soon.
Josh visiting us from New Zealand was the first to put the WiFi to the test. Josh did dangle a line from the pontoon prior to the WiFi test but no flathead took the bait.
A big thanks to Buddy from Buddy’s Budget PC Repairs for making the WiFi happen. We can’t forget Paul our sparky for the hundreds of metres of cable and many hours hard labour. Yes, there is WiFi at the Old Beech Shack, if you must.
Our boat Serenity is only weeks away from going back into the water after way too many years being out. She is an old girl but once in the water she is great.
Instead of just bringing your car next time, bring your boat. You can be in Moreton Bay in no time at all. Pack your fishing rod and we’ll see you soon.
Peter and Barbara arrived and departed with medals from the Australian Rollerskating Championships. We also managed to get our new bridge built in time for their use — no more opening gates.
The new bridge gives you complete access without being annoyed by Albert or Logan (our dogs). They can only see you through the gate now. We should have put the bridge in years ago!
