No fires allowed at all, not even for cooking, except in winter. Fire pits will be provided, in winter, not individual fires allowed. We have fire pits to keep you warm on the cool winter nights as you sit around and share your travel stories. Sit back in tranquility as you watch the platypus, turtles and wild life gather in and around the billabong as the sun sets. It's a great way to finish the day.

Family Friendly Farm Stay

We stayed for 2 nights on a powered site and loved every minute. The farm is well laid out, allowing easy viewing of animals outside of tour times. There is a great camp kitchen and the facilities were clean and the owners & staff were friendly and accommodating. Located only 30mins from Mackay - we will be back again soon!

We had a wonderful, quiet and relaxing stay at this camp site. The facilities were pristine and well appointed. The novelty of the farm animals and our walks down to the creek to spy on a cute platypus made this a memorable stopover spot.

Farm stay not to miss

We had a lovely stay on Josie’s farm and would return in a heartbeat. What a special hard working lady Josie is. All animals have human names and personalities to match. You can do a farm tour and help feed the ‘children’ or relax on your powered or unpowered site with a spotless shower/toilet block. There is a billabong with a resident platypus that we sadly did not meet. Ollie the farm cat will make his presence felt on your knee or chair if allowed😀

Wonderful place relaxing days

We spent there 2 wonderful nights on Josie‘s farm. We enjoyed each and every minute with great sunsets and sunrises in the nature. The amenities are clean and spacious!! Showers, bath room and a washing machine is there. The highlight are the animals, Alpacas and more. But the best thing at all were two platypuses we spotted in the creek close bay. The farm is such a lovely and idyllic place. Would come back anytime.
