Luggage and bags: Travel light wherever you go. it won't matter if you don't bring much cause you can buy most things you need in Kingaroy and some in nanago.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Good walking shoes are important cause everything is within walking distance.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: If you forget any of these then you're in luck cause you can buy this stuff there in nanango, even a doctor and a pharmacy. Mossie repelant and coils are essentials in summer.

Photo Equipment: By all mens bring the camera ( you know you want to! ) but you'll have to go to Kingaroy to develop them if you want them early. Batteries are ok. Them you can buy at the 1 supermarket.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: i would not advise camping as the caravan park is by fast superior to the camping faclities there, besides the fact there is tins of mossies
