Our property, "Seven Hills Tallarook", sits high above Tallarook with deep valleys and high peaks, just over one hour North of Melbourne's CBD. The property is 600 acres of thick Victorian bush and farmed paddocks.
We have a wide range of hobby farm animals - pigs, sheep, alpacas, chickens, ponies, a donkey, along with commercial heard of South African Boer Goats. As night falls, the wildlife come out to play - kangaroos, rabbits, deer and wallabies.
Internally, we have in excess of 10 kilometers of roads within the property, the majority being 2WD accessible (weather conditions apply). There are parts of the property which are only 4WD accessible.
Our campsites are placed to allow you to be as isolated as possible - away from other campers (you may see others as you drive past, or they drive past you). At some of our bush sites, you will be able to see other campers, but they are not close by.
Additionally, we anticipate our Fire Danger Period for the 2025/2026 Summer Season will commence in the coming weeks. We have not toggled the Fire Ban on as we do still allow campfires, however campers MUST adhere to CFA guidelines at all times. On days of Total Fire Ban (TFB), no fires, including gas stoves can be lit outdoors. In event of the TFB toggle needing to be used on Hipcamp, this will advise all guests booked on that day and to all future guests. We will toggle it off once the TFB is removed. Furthermore, we reserve the right to ask you not to light a fire regardless of TFB status if we feel weather conditions are unsafe, especially the wind element. We cannot plan the weather and the request to not light your campfires will most likely be on the day and we will advise as such. Our interest is with your safety, our neighbors and our property and our family.

All sites have fire places and gas BBQ's (byo gas bottle) And there are plenty of fish for those that want to try their luck.
All sites and river swimming are clothing optional, but please respect other campers in public area's if on site.
In response to a recent review, I will point out that the driveway is a gravel farm track. Normal 2Wd cars have not had any recent issues.
We have some fantastic views from the hill up and down the Murundindi Valley, especially at sunset. We're located only a few short km's from Wilhelmina Falls and Murundindi Scenic Reserve, you get the best part of the river, without the crowds. We are a
short drive from Melbourne, and easy access to the townships of Yea and Yarra Glen for supplies if you need them.
Amazing, abundant
and rare bird life to enjoy and photograph. (see guests photos). I am hoping to increase the nesting and habitat for as many local birds as possible, which has improved, but can get better with Your help. Not destroying large logs and tree's is first and foremost. But if you are inclined , funds for creating nesting spots are greatly appreciated. You can directly ask for donations to go towards specific prospects/ projects. Tawney frog mouths, king parrots, and many, many other birds call this place home. For donations specific to conservation, please contact me direct.
With recent changes,
Temporarily, removing site 2. please contact me for regulars.
With no light pollution this is the ideal spot for star gazing.

Our property, "Seven Hills Tallarook", sits high above Tallarook with deep valleys and high peaks, just over one hour North of Melbourne's CBD. The property is 600 acres of thick Victorian bush and farmed paddocks.
We have a wide range of hobby farm animals - pigs, sheep, alpacas, chickens, ponies, a donkey, along with commercial heard of South African Boer Goats. As night falls, the wildlife come out to play - kangaroos, rabbits, deer and wallabies.
Internally, we have in excess of 10 kilometers of roads within the property, the majority being 2WD accessible (weather conditions apply). There are parts of the property which are only 4WD accessible.
Our campsites are placed to allow you to be as isolated as possible - away from other campers (you may see others as you drive past, or they drive past you). At some of our bush sites, you will be able to see other campers, but they are not close by.
Additionally, we anticipate our Fire Danger Period for the 2025/2026 Summer Season will commence in the coming weeks. We have not toggled the Fire Ban on as we do still allow campfires, however campers MUST adhere to CFA guidelines at all times. On days of Total Fire Ban (TFB), no fires, including gas stoves can be lit outdoors. In event of the TFB toggle needing to be used on Hipcamp, this will advise all guests booked on that day and to all future guests. We will toggle it off once the TFB is removed. Furthermore, we reserve the right to ask you not to light a fire regardless of TFB status if we feel weather conditions are unsafe, especially the wind element. We cannot plan the weather and the request to not light your campfires will most likely be on the day and we will advise as such. Our interest is with your safety, our neighbors and our property and our family.

We absolutely loved our stay. There’s 2 sites on the property and you pass the creek site on the way in the have the whole back paddock to yourself. The area into the site was steep with dirt track so we were a bit concerned with the 21ft full off-road van but it was fine. We loved the peace and quiet however it’s close enough to Romsey if you need supplies and hanging rock is literally down the road if you feel like being more adventurous. Looking forward to the next time we can stay.

We had a fantastic weekend at Galea Ranch on Hipcamp.
The property is beautifully set with spectacular views of the Cathedral Ranges and surrounded by peaceful bushland. It offers two large campsites plus a more secluded glamping option, and it worked perfectly for our group of 14 (adults, kids, and a few very happy dogs). We had two caravans, a campervan, and a camper trailer, and there was still plenty of space for everyone to spread out comfortably.
Our hosts, Sharelle and Wayne, were absolutely wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making sure we had everything we needed.
The facilities strike a perfect balance between camping and comfort: a flushing toilet, a cute outdoor shower with hot and cold water, and a charming camp kitchen where you can wash up and even purchase fresh local produce like eggs, veggies, and buckets of carrots to feed the resident Highland cows and pony (a huge hit with the kids!).
Each site has its own fire pit with bench seating, and we loved that the first night’s firewood was provided. There’s also a great little playground setup with a tyre swing, climbing A-frames, totem tennis, a hoop, and plenty of balls to keep the kids entertained.
All in all, Galea Ranch is a stunning property with thoughtful touches, fantastic facilities, and truly lovely hosts, thanks Sharelle and Wayne. We had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend it!

Only thing you note is the site is close-ish to the road and you can hear cars, but not enough to keep you awake. We were there over Easter, so traffic was more frequent…. But regardless, we would certainly return….Beautiful place…. A great getaway, not far from home….

Highly recommend staying at Galea Ranch. Sharelle and Wayne are very friendly and accomodating hosts. We enjoyed feeding the highland cows , Shetland pony and chickens. We were also lucky enough to see poss the rescue possum . The flushable toilet and outdoor shower was a big bonus, and they just finished putting together an outdoor kitchen which was super convenient to wash up. We will definitely be coming back and telling our friends as well. Loved the privacy and hammock on site! Thank you!

Beautiful property and great hosts. Very understanding when we were delayed due to issues finding diesel.
Very private and quiet spot.
We fell in love with the area and will be back.

Glen and Kim's farm was amazingly beautiful! Quiet, well set out, our site along the creek and their customer service was second to none. Kim makes her own sourdough and it is the best I've ever had! And cheap too! I can't recommend Strath Creek Station highly enough! We'll be back!

Had the absolute best time camping here, the site was beautiful and the host is extremely polite and kind!! She brought us snacks and had her 3 dogs floating around our campsite at all times of the day and night which we loved and appreciated! The goat was super friendly and cute too! Absolutely one of the best sites on hipcamp in Victoria!

Where to go
Healesville
A main Yarra Valley town, Healesville is a hub of food and drink (largely wine!) and a handy base for campers who want to enjoy the restaurants or prepare their own gourmet meals around the campfire. The town is equipped with holiday parks with good facilities and different camping options to suit various budgets. Healesville is a short distance from the Maroondah Reservoir, where there are picnic spots and scenic walks.
Yarra Ranges National Park
The forested Yarra Ranges National Park spreads out around the Yarra Valley towns of Marysville, Healesville, and Warburton. The trees and vegetation here are especially impressive, and are a lovely environment for short walks and hikes. There are campsites throughout this national park but some of these have undergone repairs after storms; if they’re unavailable, there are nearby campsites and holiday parks elsewhere in the Yarra Valley, including Healesville and at other national and regional parks.
Kinglake National Park
A popular spot among hikers, mountain bikers, and campers, the Kinglake National Park is on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range and is easily accessible from the Yarra Valley. Keen and casual bird watchers alike will also enjoy looking out for the colourful bird life in this park, and the tall Masons Falls are especially impressive after rain. The small campsite within the park has space for tents, caravans, and camper vans, and is surrounded by shady eucalyptus trees.
Dandenong Ranges National Park
The Dandenong Ranges are often referred to at the same time as the Yarra Valley, as many day or overnight trippers from Melbourne visit both areas. The cool rainforested mountains are dotted with waterfalls, making this an ideal destination for hiking and picnicking, as well as camping. Campers can find everything from basic tent sites to luxurious cabins in the Dandenong Ranges, and it’s all very accessible from Melbourne.
