Goodberry Hills is a 40,000 acre working cattle property 37 kilometers north east of Longreach in Central Western Queensland. The property is operated by your hosts the Deane family, Jenny, Rowley, Jess, Phillip and Billy. Our family has been in the area since 1872 and have owned Goodberry Hills since 1950. Guests staying with us must be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. Well behaved pets who remain under control at all times are allowed, a two bay dog kennel will be set up near the goat yards on your way into the campsites to provide campers with a safe space to leave their pets if they are spending the day doing tourist activities in the area (it is up to the owner of the pets to ensure the water dishes in the kennels are kept full if they plan to use them). Campfires permitted in the fire pits provided. Our family came to the district in 1872 when Rowley's Great, Great, Great Grandfather Rowland Edkins arrived at Mt Cornish to take up the managers position. Mt Cornish was established from half of the original Bowen Downs holding to enable improved management after Harry Redford (Captain Starlight) stole the mob of cattle and took them to South Australia. The country around Goodberry Hills is where the cattle were stolen from. There is a small hill across the river from the campground known as Starlights Lookout, from where legend has it, Harry Redford would watch the movements of the station stockmen so he could time his raids for when they were unlikely to be about. When the big stations were resumed in 1879 and put to Ballot the family drew several blocks in the district, the main one being Bimbah where family members have lived ever since. Rowley is the fifth generation of the family to call Bimbah home. Goodberry Hills and Bimbah are now operated as one Property. Goodberry Hills was purchased by Rowley's parents in 1950. From then until recently the property ran sheep and cattle as part of an amalgamation of five holdings totalling 90,000 acres. The annual shearing produced around 620 bales of 21 micron wool from 25,000 sheep which were shorn at the Goodberry Hills Woolshed in July each year. A herd of 500 breeding cows were also run with their progeny being grown out to feeders (cattle about 400Kg liveweight ready for entry to feedlots) at around 18 months of age. We now operate Bimbah and Goodberry Hills totalling 40,000 acres running only cattle, with a herd of 300 Charbray Cross Breeding Cows and their progeny through to feeders and depending on the season up to 600 backgrounders (Weaner cattle purchased at around 200kg liveweight and grown to around 400kg liveweight ready for sale to feedlots).

RV/tent site · Sleeps 5 · Vehicles under 13 m
Private campsites are generously spaced along the banks of the Broadwater reach of the Thomson River.  Fires are allowed within designated fire pits (seasonal conditions being suitable). We can supply pre cut firewood for $10 per 10kg bag, with all money being donated straight to Rotary. There are no facilities so campers must be fully self contained (please BYO toilet and drinking water). Telstra mobile phone coverage is available.  The Broadwater is a permanent waterhole which supplies the stock and domestic water for the property Goodberry Hills. The waterhole when full is approximately 14 kilometres long. There is plenty of water for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddle boards or sailboards. There is also plenty of room for hiking, however, at this stage there are no designated trails (if you do go for a walk, we ask that you please stay within the paddock and don't climb through any fences).  There is an abundance of wildlife including birds (both water and land), kangaroos, emus, wild goats, reptiles etc. You may also see some of the station cattle grazing in the same paddock as you are camped. Drop in your yabbie pots or throw out a line to catch a Yellowbelly for dinner, you might even be lucky enough to hook one of the Murray Cod that have escaped into the river system.  We have tried to set our pricing up to accommodate for varying group sizes (at $10/adult), with children 17 years and under for free, so please don't include them in your booking numbers, however we do ask you let the property owners know how many children will be on site. Tag along property tours may be available depending on the work schedule of the property owners (please contact property owners regarding availability).  The campground is located where infamous bushranger Captain Starlight (Harry Redford) gathered the cattle he stole before his epic droving expedition to South Australia. The area was originally part of Bowen Downs Station until 1872, when it became part of Mt Cornish Station, which was split off Bowen Downs after the theft of the cattle for improved management. The present owners of Goodberry Hills are direct descendants of Mr Edward Rowland Edkins who was the first manager of Mt Cornish Station.  Located on the Western side of the Thomson River, opposite the campgrounds, and slightly to the North is Starlight's Lookout, a small hill where legend has it Captain Starlight (Harry Redford) used to watch the surrounding country for movement of the station staff and livestock. Longreach is the home of The Australian Stockmans' Hall of Fame and The Qantas Founders' Museum. A day trip to Winton to see the Age Of Dinosaurs display also makes for a great day out.

The waterhole when full is approximately 14 kilometres long. There is plenty of water for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddle boards or sailboards. There is also plenty of room for hiking, however, at this stage there are no designated trails (if you do go for a walk, we ask that you please stay within the paddock and don't climb through any fences).  There is an abundance of wildlife including birds (both water and land), kangaroos, emus, wild goats, reptiles etc. You may also see some of the station cattle grazing in the same paddock as you are camped. Drop in your yabbie pots or throw out a line to catch a Yellowbelly for dinner, you might even be lucky enough to hook one of the Murray Cod that have escaped into the river system.  We have tried to set our pricing up to accommodate for varying group sizes (at $10/adult), with children 17 years and under for free, so please don't include them in your booking numbers, however we do ask you let the property owners know how many children will be on site. Tag along property tours may be available depending on the work schedule of the property owners (please contact property owners regarding availability).  The campground is located where infamous bushranger Captain Starlight (Harry Redford) gathered the cattle he stole before his epic droving expedition to South Australia. The area was originally part of Bowen Downs Station until 1872, when it became part of Mt Cornish Station, which was split off Bowen Downs after the theft of the cattle for improved management. The present owners of Goodberry Hills are direct descendants of Mr Edward Rowland Edkins who was the first manager of Mt Cornish Station.  Located on the Western side of the Thomson River, opposite the campgrounds, and slightly to the North is Starlight's Lookout, a small hill where legend has it Captain Starlight (Harry Redford) used to watch the surrounding country for movement of the station staff and livestock. Longreach is the home of The Australian Stockmans' Hall of Fame and The Qantas Founders' Museum. A day trip to Winton to see the Age Of Dinosaurs display also makes for a great day out. For more information, please either visit goodberrycamping.com.au or contact your hosts.

Goodberry is DEFINITELY good to go.

Site 11 - Goodberry Broadwater Camgrounds
The entire site is well and truly off the beaten track, it is pure and unspoilt. My host was a true bush gentleman, and took the time to come and meet me, and make sure I was set up to be self-sufficient. I will be going back to Goodberry. It is beautiful. If you need to recharge, then set yourself up to go to Goodberry. It is outback central Queensland at its best. Take their advice seriously though; you need to bring everything in except a fire pit and wood. However, once you’re there, you’ll feel free, alone, and truly privileged to experience the natural beauty of the bush.

Site 10 - Goodberry Broadwater Camgrounds
Due to very few recent reviews it is understandable why Distance from Longreach Mostly 30plus kms of dirt Rd Inadequate and missing signage to sites not guiding us to the site we booked Let’s say a little neglected and didn’t see owner the nite we booked and left early next morning

Lovely spot right next to the river. We didn't see the other campsites but assume they are similar. Peaceful, watching the pelicans swim up and down and the cows come down for a look. We did pay $10 for firewood and can only assume they forgot to deliver it.. otherwise the pile of kindling that was there was definitely not firewood.

Loved our stay at Goodberry. Very peaceful, very relaxing, fire pits provided and was able to buy wood from Phililip which was dropped off to our site. Camping spots are well set apart. Signposts for campsites are a bit hit & miss, but eventually worked it out.

Great stay at Site 11 at Goodberry. Second time we have stayed out here, the peace and quiet is so relaxing. Lots of space and sites are well apart from each other so you feel like you are the only ones staying here. We enjoyed our stay, thanks Phil.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. This was an amazing and private place to stay. Tried our luck at fishing without too much success, but still fun. The road into Longreach was mostly dirt but well maintained so an easy 45 minute trip from camp to the roundabout in Longreach. Thank you!

If you’re looking to escape the crowds and are keen to enjoy some tranquil solitude by the Thompson River, this is the place! The road out there was a bit challenging for our motor home and would be impossible in the wet, but all the shaking and rattling was well worth it! We were very grateful to be able to experience this unique part of the country. A sincere thank you to our hosts. 🙏
