## Overview

I have 8 sites at the moment each one is in a open bushland setting with lovely views, no site is within 100 meters of another and each one has a different view with lots of privacy, and all Dog and Kid friendly, shallow water, and deep water for swimming or kayaking , creeks, animals to feed and heaps of room to run and play.

 Adult friendly, huge sites for big groups and plenty of space, great swimming and lots of things to here and in the surrounding areas.

Some sites are more suited to Caravans as the access is better and some are better suited to campers / 4WD but all can be accessed with a regular car. We have NO road frontage so sites are private, quiet and safe and only 3ks off the New England Highway.

All campers MUST bring their own Chemical toilet and shower facilities. A small rest room and shower is available in case of emergency only

I run a working farm raising Sheep and Lambs, Chickens, Ducks, Horses, Donkeys, Vegies, Preserves and Jams. Farm produce is available on request and availability, eg Free range eggs , farm raised Lamb, locally sourced Bacon for the BBQ , and seasonal vegetables, jams and chutneys.

Thanks to the Beautiful rain we have had recently, our large dam is

 full, providing a wonderful spot for swimming, paddling or just splashing about, the Dam has long sloping access so is great for families and dogs, PLEASE NOTE The Google Maps photo is way out of date, our Dam is full. For those who may be into Waterskiing or Fishing Leslie Dam is a 10 min drive away and offers fishing and water sports then come back to your quiet camp away from the crowds.

We are 20 min South of Warwick,

 We are only 30 min from the Stanthorpe Wineries, Breweries fresh fruit and Vege, Cheese factory to name a few things to do. A little further along you will find Girraween National Park renowned for amazing walks. Warwick Hosts the Biggest and Best Campdraft and Rodeo on the last full week of October (Covid permitting) as well as the quirky Jumpers and Jazz festival in July. Steam Train Journeys , half or full days,

We have an amazing motor sport venue which holds meet every weekend, cars bikes, vintage, minis, Porsche's, you name it they race it every weekend. As well as many Equestrian Events, you can spend the day out exploring

and then you can come back to your beautiful campsite, that is if you have not decided to stay relaxing and swimming for the day in the quiet watching the sheep and horses pass bye to then watch the Sunset and wildlife then look at the amazing night sky.

> We loved the farm life our spot was right in front of the dam We got to watch all wildlife and farm animals come and drink from dam and do their funny little games with each other It was so peaceful If we had more rain and the dam was fuller and the area was greener it would be even more beautiful

> Absolutely the best place I have ever been. Sites are massive and over a hundred metres apart. The site is mostly flat. Close enough to waterfalls and various attractions for day trips. Just 10 minutes south of Warwick. Friendly cows, horses and donkey Host was absolutely lovely. We will definitely go back. No complaint whatsoever, but It would be good if they had drop toilets. This would make it easier for a large family.

> Such a peaceful spot. I enjoyed my stay the animals were all friendly with the cows, donkeys, goats, horses and sheep all stopping by to say hello. My son loved the dam with the ducks. And our swim was enjoyable a little bit of plants to wade through first but the water was cool and refreshing. Would highly recommend this spot and will be back again. Cathy was lovely and stopped by and was friendly and warm. Very inviting place to stay
