Situated in a unique valley of Native flora and fauna with short hikes to 2 plateaus to take in breathtaking 360 degree views of the Grampians National Park (Gariwerd). This is a private oasis on re-vegetated land in secluded bushland. The property has been in existence since the 1870’s as a working farm producing some of the finest Merino wool in the world. Our wool is produced ethically and sustainably and is sourced by the Italian Woollen Mills to produce fine quality fashion. Our secret is the land and our nurturing of it and our sheep. We want to share our piece of paradise with campers who treat our land the way we do. Note: The creek and spring run in winter and spring—enjoy walking along the creek line under the Red Gums.
