Approximately 45 minutes from Orange, 4 hours from Sydney. The region between Molong and Parkes offers scenic views, bush walking, bush camping, picnic areas, mountain biking trails, and 4WD touring. To the northwest lies Goobang National Park that includes Caloma lookout, one of the high points in the Wanda Wandong sector of Goobang National Park. The area is a bird watchers' paradise - you can often spot birds of prey, such as wedge-tailed eagles, brown goshawks and brown falcons, soaring across the sky. Black cypress pines, grevilleas, lomandras and heath feature commonly on the landscape. There are many tall grass trees in this area too, some of which are believed to be hundreds of years old. This is a large property that is taking a break from sheep farming. Covered in gum trees and pines and lots of open space. The property has a creek with all year round water holes and dams. You can do almost anything you want. Hiking, fishing, swimming, camping and living the dream. There's emus (bush chooks), kangaroos (hopping dogs), platypus and no drop bears, meaning you can sit back, relax and go back to the way it was. Self sufficient campers only, leave no trace. You must bring your own camping toilet and shower. If booking under the Group listing, you will need to arrange you own portaloos, which I am happy to manage delivery/pick up of with the local hire company. It's 15 minutes to the pub in town if you're up for a coldie or a meal. Our farm is a work in progress.

1 night at Burrill Creek Camping

Burrill Creek Camp is peaceful with a gorgeous bush camping feel yet so convenient. Easy access from Newell Hwy, only 30km from Parkes and for those that need it, 4 bars of Telstra 4G!. There are public toilets about 5km up the road at Alectown. There are plenty of well spaced camp spots to choose from, most with fire pits and a generous supply of fire wood. Sun sets filtering through the trees were a highlight for me. Burrill Creek runs through the camping area but it wasn't running when we stayed. Host Tony and Lorraine were very helpful and responsive.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Lance’s property! The site was peaceful and private, offering a true off-grid camping experience. Each evening, we were treated to stunning sunsets that lit up the landscape – just magical. We loved watching kangaroos hopping through the area, adding to the authentic Aussie bush vibe. Despite the secluded feel, it’s only a short drive into Dubbo and close to all the main attractions, including the Western Plains Taronga Zoo. Lance was a welcoming and friendly host. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind in nature while still being close to town!

Our family loved camping at Andrew and Lana's property. We had a great time, we had the whole place to ourselves. There is a lot of space if other people were to come you could easily spread out. Fun little creek to explore, simple swing set up for the kids which they loved. Good access to the town of Parkes and the radio telescope. Great fire pit area and lots of wood around. Would definitely recommend. Was great to meet Andrew, he popped by to introduce himself and check if we needed anything.

The perfect off grid spot that really feels like you’re the only people! Beautiful location amongst the wildlife and nature. Lance was super helpful offering us choice of sites since we had the entire property to ourselves (& the 80 odd roos!). So peaceful and serene. Would definitely recommend. (Keep your pets on lead!)
