Gumtree Dam Highlands
9 sites · RVs, Tents25 acres · Abington, QLD
Camp at our farm retreat with us and our Scottish Highland Coos. We are 5 minutes out of Childers, Queensland. You will have plenty of room to yourself, there is potable water available and porta loos. We have a shower facility now too, is made out of a horse float just to keep my hubby busy haha and to have something a little different. Now my new animals will have to be transported home on the back seat of my car 🤣
The Scottish folk pronounce it Heilen Coos... so that's how we say it, they might be a little shy, to start with but they wander around freely and will love to be hand fed sweet potatoes by you and brushed by Chrissy. Everyone will enjoy seeing these cuties.
Feed times have been cut back to once a day at 8am, just like us the fluffies need coo time to chill.
We've just had a lovely, very patient camper, (27/4/24) Jo hand feed almost 3-month-old Lucy Moo for the very first time 😁
You'll meet Kelvin the Scottish Highland Bull, Oakley who is new mum to Lucy Moo born 5th of February and Willow, mum to Ferdinand (Ferdi) born earlier this year on the 3rd of January, so two beautiful calves to watch doing zoomies around the yard, swimming in the dam or chilling under a tree 😁
Baz and Nige are our Nigerian dwarf goats that are being bottle fed at the moment.
We have 2 dogs Jesse a blue heeler and Cane our Maremma, who are both very friendly. The Maremma dog is an Italian breed of livestock gaurdian dog he does bark a little at night if there is a fox or something around that might hurt our animals. Cane has been very successful at keeping all our pets safe. Guest's have told us they have slept through the night no troubles, in saying that sometimes he doesn't need to bark at all.
If anyone thinks the barking might be an issue this probably isn't the place for you.
We now have Percy the peacock 🦚 who randomly Honks!
Our Neighbours have fish farms, so you will hear the odd shot gun go off at times, just to scare the shags away from feeding in the ponds.
We are very easy to get along with but excessive noise or bad behaviour will not be tolerated. Feel free to put on music and have a few drinks by the camp fire, but we want our farm to be a place where our animals and our guests feel safe and relaxed. Thanks for your understanding.
Relax with a cuppa, unwind with a book or go for a short bush walk and listen to the kookaburras. All your cares will feel like they are a million miles away as you soak up nature here at our farm.
Conveniently there is a dump point in at Childers at the rest area, 16 Cresent St. 6km from here.
There are wonderful cafes and bakeries in Childers, an IGA and Woolworths. We are near Bingera National park, Cordalba state forest with an hour to some top snorkelling spots, also Drive passed acres of sugarcane and macadamia fields we are 45 minutes from Hervey Bay and 40 minutes the other way to Bundaburg. We love being so close to the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef.
We look forward to meeting you.
