Does open space, fresh air, and the peace and quiet of nature sound appealing? Well, come and experience the ‘Yarriambiance’ of our unique rural escape. It is not far off the main highway, but far enough that you will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. You will experience dusty back roads, open plains and the starry skies of rural Australia, yet you will only be 20 minutes away from a bustling regional city (Horsham). Around the property there are many old historic farm buildings, including an original 'boundary riders' hut (circa 1870's). The Yarriambiack Creek is the western boundary of the property, and is a haven for birds and wildlife such as kangaroos & wallabies.

The creek relies on seasonal rainfall, and when running, is deep enough for swimming or paddling around in a kayak. When dry, the creek bed makes a fantastic walking track.

4 nights at Grampians Old Man Emu Stay

Attended at a quiet early week time, so many camps to choose from, they all had a fire pit, a rake for ashes, n tons of room. So peaceful and heaps of wildlife, kangaroos can come up right near your van. Heaps of birds incl emus. With the closed gate at entrance felt very secure, even leaving stuff out on day trips. Hosts are very nice people, recommend this stay, we will be back..

Probably the most beautiful and functional Campkitchen we have seen

Weekend Trip to Yarriambiance

The photos give a real good indication of what the site is like. Easy and clear directions and really lovely area. Plenty of space. We all had an incredible time. Some flies but not the bitey kind but good with bring fly nets / hats. The camels were a fun daily visit and the misting system on hot days was perfect. Perfect for the small to medium group when wanting a little extra luxury. Even though I switch off when camping there was still mobile phone coverage if you needed it.

We are completely self sufficient so we were able to park a long way from any other campers. Kids were able to explore the land, throw some yabbie nets in the damn with success and ride their bikes.
