Briagolong Bush Getaways is 40 acres of peaceful bush land. Many, many moons ago the property use to be a tobacco farm. The original house use to be at the top camp site but was burnt down in the 1960's. A small cottage was then built and lived in for the next 10 years, while the original owner made mud bricks by hand and built the house, that is currently our home. All built by hand more than 42 years ago! Here, you have several fantastic camp areas to choose from, some with access to amenities, some for self-contained campers. We've also recently started offering the mudbrick house for rent! A great option for a warmer stay in the Victorian winter, or if you are a large group and some want to camp whereas others want more comfort.

(27)

49km from Sale · 5 sites · Tents, RVs · Wuk Wuk, VIC

We border the Mitchell river with the farm so there are about 1 km of secluded banks to sit or swim from if you want to just stay put. For those wanting pure relaxation, meditation, and soul grounding. We can personally show you some tremendous places on the farm to go within. Pure solace is something that many take for granted. Use our pyramid to draw in Quantum/etheric energy, go to the top of our crystal hill and feel the energies. There is so much to be thankful for when you can release in these spaces. Alternatively sit amongst the cows and feel their energy surround you as their curious nature brings them in closer and closer until they relax around you. Alternatively if you want to chill with a beer on the river bank and try for some bass, or watch the eastern water dragons play in the sun and water, then that’s a great way to unwind, or soak up the sun rays as it drops below the horizon on the crystal hill or rolling flood plains. A personal favourite of a campfire and a few drinks with the stars is a great way to unwind when you have so much space and privacy. The sites are located next to our rental lodge where we sometimes do retreats, or holiday let it as well. The privacy is wonderful if that's what you are looking for. A walk each morning from one end of the farm where you will stay to the other and back is a leisurely 2kms so maybe that is your morning start, but walk the lanes and check the fences and cows while you're at it please 🙂, ticks a job for us while your relaxing. Want to learn about the history of the area? Well a session with us will teach you everything didn't know about the Dargo High Plains, the mountain cattlemen of the high country and much more. Take advantage of your time to enjoy the history of the area and the wonderful past times enjoyed. What is available off farm? Number one, the pub with great counter meals is across the river, 5kms away. Lindenow Farmers Hotel is iconic in its design and history, the reputed Lindenow Long Paddock Cafe is also a few hundred metres from the pub, and the Post Office and Store have all your essentials. Need a few more things? Bairnsdale is 24kms away from the farm and offers all you need. Lakes Entrance is about 40 mins for a day out on the beach. Paynesville around 30 mins. If you want to venture up into the mountains then why not go through Dargo just 45 mins and up onto Mt Hotham (Summer only) via the Dargo High Plains. It’s a great track and on occasions I take people up for a guided tour and secret camp spots on my yearly run up there for my own relax time. East Gippsland in general is a wonderful region to stop and relax during all seasons but especially summer with the water activities available, the camping in the high country, and the markets that abound the area. How do I get to be on this great farm? Well I am glad you asked! Just contact us through this website! Looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you onto our family farm of 124 years.

1 night at Coos & Ewes

We loved our stay at Leanne’s. The views over the wetlands were unreal, our spot was tucked away so it felt really private and Leanne was really welcoming and brought us everything we would need to get the fire pit going. It was great seeing her beautiful cows grazing and kangaroos on the horizon. There is a block with a toilet and shower in which is a bit of a walk away from the camping spot. It didn’t matter to us that it was a bit of a walk but something to bear in mind if anyone has accessibility concerns. It was one of the highlights of our trip and we would definitely recommend!

4 nights at Serenity Hill Camp Grounds

We had an absolute relaxing time on Site 3 in our caravan for four nights. Fire wood was delivered to our site so we could enjoy a “toasty” night by our camp fire. Our dog enjoyed the space for ball play, bush walks and spending quality time soaking up the sun. We befriended a couple of King Parrots, bird seeds and peanuts were their morning treats. The “composting toilets” are immaculate with absolutely no smell and no bugs and regularly maintained by Rick. There are 5 decent sized sites, each with their own character. Our site was perfect for a drive through, still enough sun to charge our battery yet shady against the afternoon sun. Plenty of wombat burrows around the property, bounding wallabies and grey kangaroos were seen during our walk. Found an old cemetery with two headstones dating from late 1800’s to early 1900’s with interesting historical commemoration for a Boer War digger. Virginia and Rick are very accommodating and even offered us potable water from their home if required. There is a rain water tank next to the toilets that can be used for washing. There is a massive BMX track for enthusiasts, slightly overgrown but still a lot of fun for the kids regardless. We loved our set up, the sights of the rolling hills, a variety of bird life and some massive but old twisted gums on the property and the occasional morning visit of sheep from neighbouring farms. We will definitely be going back, can’t believe how quiet it is and how bright the stars are.

We had a great stay at site 4! Pretty views, nice and open and reasonably close to the pump track to keep an eye on the kids. We wanted privacy from other campers and site 4 provided that (apart from ppl visiting the toilets from time to time which didn’t bother us as it was a while away). Toilets are as everyone says - completely odourless and kept nice and clean by the hosts. Perhaps a tad expensive once you add in kids and extra guests but it seems you pay for privacy! We’d come back again - thanks Virginia!

Right by a creek, dropped in the yabby net and caught some very large crays. It was a full house for the long weekend, but everyone was spread out far enough we barely heard a peep.

Weekend Trip to Coos & Ewes

Camping at The Pines on Coos and Ewes Farm was beautiful. We weee able to pick a beautiful spot on the hill overlooking the lakes. Sensational views and sunsets by a crackling fire. The host Leanne was very responsive to any questions and the shower and toilet was clean and nice located inside a shed. We participated in the cow experience (at a cost) which included being driven around on the UTV feeding the higlamders meeting the donkeys and chickens. Peacocks, ducks, and Turkey. Would visit again. Very relaxing and the campsite was far away from other guests.
