The Ultimate Off-Grid River Frontier: Gold, Cod, and Campfires ​Ditch the crowded holiday parks and bring the family to a place where "getting away from it all" actually means it. We’re offering 6 acres of raw, absolute river frontage on the Dumaresq River. This isn't a manicured lawn—it’s a rugged, private wilderness where your only neighbors are the kangaroos and the stars. ​If you have a self-contained caravan or a sturdy tent setup, this is your playground. No houses, no streetlights, and no sirens—just the river and the bush. ​Adventure for the Whole Family ​Strike it Rich: This isn't just a gimmick; people are still finding gold in the riverbed. Grab a pan, teach the kids how to read the ripples, and spend the afternoon hunting for "color." ​The Big Catch: The Dumaresq is legendary for its fishing. Whether you’re a pro or it’s the kids' first time wetting a line, there is plenty of action under the surface. ​Off-Grid Living: This is the perfect spot to teach the kids some bushcraft. With no Wi-Fi to distract them, they’ll be busy spotting platypus and building the perfect campfire. ​The Midnight Gallery: Because we are kilometers from the nearest house, the light pollution is zero. The night sky is so bright it feels like you can reach out and grab the Southern Cross. ​Who’s Hiding in the Bush? ​The property is a highway for local wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for: ​The Icons: Eastern Grey Kangaroos and Wallabies jumping through the scrub. ​The Rare Finds: If you’re quiet at dawn, you might spot a Platypus or an Echidna foraging. ​The Raptors: Watch Wedge-tailed Eagles soar above the river looking for a meal. ​The River Crew: Azure Kingfishers (bright blue streaks over the water), Turtles sunning on logs, and Pelicans. ​Fisherman’s Log ​The Dumaresq is home to some of Australia’s most iconic freshwater species: ​Murray Cod: The heavyweights of the river. ​Golden Perch (Yellowbelly): A favorite for the frying pan. ​Silver Perch & Dewfish: For a fun, active fight on the line. ​A Note on the Rugged Life: This is a purely self-contained site. You’ll need to bring your own toilet, water, and power. We love this land and want to keep it wild, so we ask all our guests to leave no trace—pack it in, pack it out!Site 1 is situated right on the River front, You cant get much closer than this for camping.
