Finding the centre
The recommended access route is via Kilcoy as is indicated on the map below and to the right. The turn-off to Sunday Creek is approximately 36 kilometres North of Kilcoy. It is a further 7 kilometres into the campsite with the turn off sign posted 'Kenilworth—Sunday Creek Field Study Centre'. The trip from Kilcoy to Sunday Creek EEC takes approximately 50 minutes - 1 hour.
Google maps will find the centre, however will not navigate to the centre for you. Be assured that once you’ve found Sunday Creek road, you’re on the right track and it’s only 7 kilometres along dirt roads to the centre.
Access roads via Kilcoy are suitable for coaches and small busses however there are smooth dirt roads to negotiate.
