**Our camping sites vary in size and proximity to others. If you want to come with a group with several vehicles etc, please send a message rather than book separate sites. We will help find a site which suits your needs. We now have several secluded bush camp sites as alternatives to our more 'civilised' sites. They have no facilities apart from the site so you must be entirely self-sufficient. But all are single sites well away from others. We invite you to come and share our property, soak up the tranquility of our quiet valley and enjoy feeling at home in nature. And your dog is welcome too (under control please because we value our wildlife, and no more than 2 dogs per couple or family group)! The land is nearly 200 Ha in the western foothills of the Dividing Range, with the usually-flowing North Branch Creek being a green haven supporting lots of wildlife. It also includes the secluded back valley of Hann Creek to which you can walk, cycle or ride, with many tracks of lengths up to 3 km. The land is mostly open forest land with some cleared areas from its dairy-farming history, and many gullies with thicker vegetation. The property is mostly now dedicated to nature conservation and the recovery of its more natural state. It is a Nature Refuge under Qld legislation with special emphasis on recognising that the land is Githabul country, honouring local Githabul people now, sharing it with them and others, plus preserving species of plants and animals with known relevance to their former lifestyles. The name Nyalar Mirungan-ah means 'Old Women's Tears' in Githabul, and recognises that they cry because the land was taken from them and because it has not been looked after well by European people. We are now trying to care for it well, and to allow the original ecosystems to return, by lighter grazing, soil recovery and using traditional Aboriginal burning knowledge. And we welcome dogs as long as they don't disturb our wildlife. Shandy, our own dog, is very welcoming to guests and might drop in to your camp for a visit.

Site 1 - The Waterhole
Lovely spot! Waterhole was so nice to relax and cool off in so remember your floatie . Plenty of hikes to do also. The sites have a few trees everywhere so big setups won’t work great also be mindful of it rains the creek can flood so pack some extra food if you’re expecting some rain

Site 2 - The Waterhole
Left stranded after heavy rain
Very private and the waterhole is lovely to swim in. In perfect weather it would be fantastic. However, it needs to be clear in the listing that the creek floods VERY quickly with rain. No phone service at the creek sites so you cannot keep track of the weather. We were flooded in for an extra day with no way to contact work or loved ones. The toilet (though great at the start) quickly overloaded and became smelly. Owner never came to warn us/check on us before or after the thunderstorm and flood leaving us stranded. Finally saw him after trekking in rain and mud to find a nearby neighbour for help, who texted him out of concern. Only then he advised us that this has happened before. Thankfully we were with a great bunch who made the experience better, but unfortunately there is something to be desired with regard to duty of care on the owner’s behalf.
