We are on the watershed of the lake eyre catchment system with the murray darling on the other side. We have a wide variety of bird life and native animals.Our seasons vary, sometimes it is drought stricken and others lush. Do not assume by looking at lovely green grass photos that it always look like this. We are new to this game so please be patient as we find our way.We offer accommodation at the shearers quarters and camping.Other than at shearing time our quarters lie idle. The quarters are basic with 8 bedrooms. Each room has 2 beds with a mattress, linen is not provided. There is basic showering and toileting facilities. There is a washing machine. The kitchen has fridges and freezers. There is an oven and a cooktop. There is very limited cooking equipment. It is a 500 metre walk to the house dam. It has commanding views of the surrounding countryside.You can camp or park your campervan/RV at the dam. Feel free to pitch your tent here and simply park your camping vehicle and unwind. This site is dependant on seasonal conditions as to whether or not the dam is full or empty. There are toilets, showers and cooking facilities available at our shearers quarters 500 metres away.

Bush camp on the road between Jericho and Blackall. Cleared sites, with lovely bush outlooks, ideal for self-contained campers wanting peace and quiet. Lots of birdlife - great for bird watchers! On a clear night - the stars here are incredible!
Please ensure you are fully self-sufficient with have your own toilet, power, water etc, and we kindly ask you take all waste when you go. There is a dump site in Jericho, 27km away.
You are welcome to choose your own spot within the designated 2ha cleared camping area. Plenty of space to find your own private, level patch. Lots of space, even for larger vehicles. Plenty of options for shade.
Pets are welcome, but they must be kept on a lead at all times, as there are working Maremmers and station dogs in the area.
Because of the landscape and some older farm equipment on the land, and in order to maintain a peaceful setting, we prefer to not accept bookings with children.

What a beautiful spot amongst the river gums. Louise and her partner were very welcoming and helpful. I had a wonderful time painting, creating and wandering with my dog. The dams were low but this was of little consequence with no mozzies to speak of.

We loved the wide open, rustic site with the cows meandering by :-). We were certainly surprised when we wandered up to the lookout area - what an absolute gem! This is a great spot to view the ranges that surround or to star gaze at night. Shane & Kyley were extremely welcoming and a pleasure to deal with. We would happily return :-)

Easy to find , peaceful . The shearer’s quarters were clean and had everything I needed. It was perfect for me as a single camper.
Beautiful sunset and sunrise. Shower is hot .
Andrew’s advice on best roads to get north was spot on and much appreciated.

The hosts are just wonderful and iris the most peaceful and tranquil of settings. So much wildlife to enjoy, along with the resident stock (horses, sheep, donkeys, cattle etc). Definitely recommend coming when it's cooler and there's been some rainfall but totally idyllic as a country retreat on a working property.
