The Sprint Route
The Sprint Route is an easy, leafy drive and travels past some quiet places for picnics, or even for a spot of fishing.
It’s true that we all need a little country, so pack your bags, hop in the car and get summer-set for a season of fun in Somerset. Nestled in the heart of Queensland Country, Somerset is just a one-hour drive from Brisbane, Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast, making it the perfect spot for a little country summer escape.
This season, holidaymakers are in for some family fun with ‘The Great Kilcoy Yowie Hunt’. Over summer, the Kilcoy Yowie will be hanging out in some of his favourite spots in Somerset. He’ll be popping up all over the region in places like Fernvale, Esk, Toogoolawah, Kilcoy, Lake Somerset, Lake Wivenhoe and more. When you spot him, simply scan the QR code and enter your details to go in the draw to win a $1000 accommodation voucher to NRMA Lake Somerset Holiday Park.
Set on the cool, breezy shores of Lake Somerset, we all need a little country escape to NRMA Lake Somerset Holiday Park. With a range of accommodation options available, from camping to cabins and glamping safari tents, guests can choose how they holiday. BYOB (bring your own boat) and enjoy a day on the lake fishing, wakeboarding, tubing or water skiing. Take a dip by day and cozy up by the campfire at night, there’s no end to the fun at NRMA Lake Somerset Holiday Park.
So don’t delay, head to Somerset and embark on a summer safari, Yowie style! Remember, the Kilcoy Yowie is a pretty social creature, and loves to see photos of himself online, so when you spot a Yowie, be sure to snap a picture with him, upload it to Facebook or Instagram and don’t forget to tag @experiencesomerset
