06 Mar QCCC Expands with the Purchase of Cobb and Co Nine Mile Campgrounds
Queensland Conference and Camping Centres (QCCC) is excited to announce the purchase of Cobb and Co Nine Mile Campgrounds, securing a spectacular new venue for school camps, survival camps, and family camping in Southeast Queensland. Located near Gympie and within easy reach of the Sunshine Coast, the property will become the permanent home of QCCC’s highly sought-after Survival Camp program for Queensland schools.
A Permanent Home for QCCC’s Survival Camp Programs
QCCC’s Survival Camp has become one of the most innovative outdoor education programs available to schools in Queensland. The acquisition of Cobb and Co provides a 100-acre private outdoor learning environment, giving students the space to engage in immersive survival experiences, leadership challenges, and personal reflection. The property’s natural bushland and creek environments create the perfect setting for hands-on outdoor education, including team challenges, bushcraft skills, and the program’s well-known solo reflection experience – a safe, supervised opportunity for students to disconnect from technology and reconnect with themselves and the natural world.
Family Camping Continues – With Even More to Offer
Cobb and Co will continue to operate as the family-friendly public campground loved by tens of thousands of campers each year. Under QCCC ownership, families can look forward to additional holiday activities, long-weekend programs, and outdoor experiences led by QCCC’s team of experienced instructors. With more than 100 staff across multiple outdoor education venues, QCCC brings the capacity to expand activities while preserving the relaxed, welcoming culture that campers already enjoy.
Continuity Through a Going Concern Sale
The transition has been structured as a going concern, meaning the talented and experienced Cobb and Co team will continue operating the campground – now as part of the QCCC staff family. Campers can expect the same friendly faces and high level of care they have always experienced.
Australia’s Most Unique Mini Golf Experience
A major new highlight of the property is the extraordinary Cobb and Co mini golf course, a one-of-a-kind attraction that is quickly becoming one of the most unique mini golf experiences in Australia. With every hole enjoying a different and beguiling theme the course offers a fantastic activity for campers, day visitors, birthday parties, and families exploring the Sunshine Coast and Gympie regions.
A New Chapter for Outdoor Education and Camping in Queensland
The purchase of Cobb and Co marks the most significant expansion of QCCC’s ministry in more than 20 years. By combining world-class outdoor education, family camping, and unique attractions like mini golf, the property will serve thousands of students, families, and community groups every year. QCCC looks forward to building on the legacy of Cobb and Co and welcoming a new generation of campers to this remarkable property.
