The Diggings
The Diggings
The Diggings is a campground situated in an open grassy clearing within Crediton State Forest, set among tall trees beside a calm stretch of Broken River in Queensland. Located roughly 9.
5 km west of Broken River off Eungella Dam Road via Diggings Road, it sits about 20 minutes from the town of Eungella. High clearance vehicles are recommended for access.
The site carries a rich history — gold was discovered nearby in 1888, and a short-lived shanty town once occupied the area, complete with a school, post office, and general stores.
Today the campground is better known for its tranquil riverside setting and the chance to spot platypus in the Broken River waters.
