🌿 Welcome to The Sanctuary 2580 – A Hidden Bush Retreat close to Sydney, Wollongong and Canberra!
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of our biodiverse, timeless land sprawling across ~500 acres.
Conveniently located just 2.5 hours from Sydney, 1.3 hours from Canberra, and a short 25-minute drive from Goulburn, The Sanctuary 2580 (our postcode) is an exclusive haven for nature enthusiasts and those wanting their own cosy hidden valley experience.
🚗 Getting Here:
Ten kms off the Hume down a tar and gravel rural lane, with the final ~2 kms down a bush track/firetrail.
NOTE: ALL the Map Apps (Garmin Apple Google etc) get the directions Wrong, but on booking we will send you access instructions.
🌳 Nature's Symphony:
The firetrail that brings you to The Sanctuary descends ~2kms of the 3 km long catchment of Lyrebird Creek, where on arriving at our farm, the water slows, down dropping the sediments and nutrients carried by this fast perennial mountain creek onto the open uplands floodplain, enriching and watering a rich tapestry of native grasses and herbs in the woodlands and the poa tussock river grasslands further down. In a wet season the chorus of frogs is deafening along our 1km long main valley.
Lyrebird Creek after leaving the woodlands, descends past several natural springs to our southeast corner where it joins Jerrara Creek, that flows into Bungonia Creek, and then into the Shoalhaven River.
But don't expect to see Lyrebird Creek running, as it's only on the surface for few weeks per year on average in wet years, rarely in average years or standard El Niño years. It only runs on the surface for a few weeks a year in La Niña years after the catchment is saturated, as the rest of the time like many of Australia's creeks, it flows below the surface in ancient riverbed-rocked aquifers
Our quiet mornings and evenings are filled with birdsong from all the small forest, woodlands and creekside birds, over 10 species of cockatoos and parrots, and the second last bird chorus at night is the resident kookaburra family sings their boundaries, and if you listen carefully you’ll hear surrounding kookaburra tribes answering.
It's after the evening kookaburra boundary patrol and just on dark that you'll sometimes hear the male lyrebirds practicing their extensive repertoire. One thing that gives them away is that the birds they are mimicking area all tucked up for the night, and the different calls come from the same areas of the eastern or western ridges that hug the Lyrebird Creek catchment as they move to their overnight lairs deep in the forest.
After dark, if you have young hearing, or the right microphone and frequency converter attached to your smart phone, there’s the very high-pitched ecolocation of the many insect-eating microbats, the quiet calls of the barn and boobook owls as they set out on their nightly hunts, and sometimes the territorial calls and squabbles of the brush-tailed possum tribes.
The local council biodiversity officer told us earlier in 2024 to keep an eye and ear out for the calls of endangered species of glider possums, and over in the western valleys we may have the normally silent koalas. It's only male koalas in mating season who make a lot of noise for a few weeks a year.
Our native fauna also comprises the quiet, shy and camouflaged swamp and red-necked wallabies, echidnas, eastern grey kangaroos, wombats and the even more shy bandicoots.
Reptiles include skinks, blue tongues, water monitors, lace monitors (a species of goanna that can be well over 2m long, snakes include red-belly blacks and eastern browns, and 4+ species of frogs. While in the springs and waterways we have yabbies, freshwater mussels and whopping great leaches.
Some of the bigger waterholes on Jerrara Creek may have rakali, Australia's native rodent version in the ecosystem of the freshwater otters of the Northern Hemisphere. We're hoping the platypus move back once the catchment and stream health improves.
🌋 Ancient Rocks Unveiled:
Explore Hanging Rock and other ancient volcanic pumice-like rock formations, on both the eastern and western sides of the Lyrebird Creek valley standing resilient against hundreds of millions of years of geological erosion. These natural wonders we think are from the Silurian or Ordovician periods ~415-480 million years ago, add to the timelessness to the landscape.
🏞️ The Sanctuary is Spacious and Largely Untouched:
As the most recent custodians of the ~500 acres, we're all about having a small footprint, regenerating and restoring the creeklines impacted by the livestock and feral animals of European invasion. We currently use or travel over ~5% of the land and have a self-imposed limit of -10% maximum in our biodiversity and catchment management plans.
We are setting up remote monitoring systems to keep a check on the native fauna and flora as well as catchment and creek health, ensuring we only intervene if and when necessary.
Our boundary fence-lines dwarf your average suburban block: eastern - 1km, northern - 2.1km, western - 0.8km and the southern creek boundary is 5.6kms long. Luckily the southern boundary fencing is on the other side of the creek, but we are planning how to replace the other ~4kms of boundary fencing, as much of it traverses some quite rugged terrain.
⛰️ Elevate Your Experience with Cool Nights, Scenic Heights:
Experience a change in altitude, ranging from 590 to 810 meters above sea level. Enjoy cool nights even in summer, and as we catch up with the maintenance and add signage, there will be opportunities to walk our internal fire trails leading to Mount William and over to the western valleys.
🌲 Beyond The Sanctuary:
The beautiful Bungonia Gorge and National Park is just 40 minutes away offering well-marked trails for every skill level, from easy strolls to challenging hikes. And for the experienced there's some caves that speleologists love and well-meaning amateurs get rescued from.
Only 30 minutes away is Australia’s oldest inland city of Goulburn. It has great cafés, restaurants and takeways, and regal colonial architecture with the railway station, courthouse and the beautiful 2 cathedrals.
Other interesting tourist features include The Roundhouse (for train fans), the May St Wetlands restoration project, a number of art galleries, the Conservatorium, Lieder Theatre (Australia's oldest inland theatre) and the popular Goulburn Performing Arts Centre.
🌍 Mission and Values of a Social Enterprise – doing good by doing good business
Beyond our birdlife and tranquillity, we're on a social and environmental mission.
Our business plans for The Sanctuary are that becomes a hub for environmental and climate change science education, an example of good science-informed Permaculture design, and updated versions of the farm, garden, and nature therapy we were doing back in the 80s.
So your stay first of all pays the council and local land services rates, abd directly supports environmental management at The Sanctuary and beyond, including regenerative agriculture and agricultural biodiversity, catchment and wetlands restoration, and broadacre Permaculture design.
It also helps us create a walk-the-talk operational base for our other work through Sacred Earth Works and Transforming Lives Australia, in assisting communities, forward-thinking companies, and the 4 levels of Australian government transition to a world working in harmony with the biosphere & restoring the damage to the Planet of the last ~8,000 years of civilisation.
🏡 Off-the-Grid Experience:
Disconnect and unwind with a back-to-basics experience – just you, nature, and the crackling fire.
We're already solar and battery where we can for our work vehicles and plan to offer charging stations for all your devices, followed by onsite EV charging in the next 3-5 years.
🐾 Furry Friends Welcome but Safety for All Comes First:
Well-behaved dogs are part of the family. Bring your canine companions, but they must be on a leash or long lead — respecting both the wildlife and fellow guests.
Remember, that for dogs, as well as kids and adults, the Australian bush has lots of things that will injure or kill you if you don't keep your distance and show respect.
So please keep your distance from all wildlife, and don't let kids or dogs try to go down the wombat warrens. We've never had an incident, and that's the way we intend to keep it
Managing the risks and safely avoiding them means keeping the worst case scenarios in mind. These risks include
~ campfires are hot, and can escape,
~ at least 3 species of poisonous snakes,
~ goannas are not an ancient 2-3m long lizard you want to tangle with,
~ wombats can kill dogs that trespass down their warrens by squashing them against the tunnel roof,
~ pick up an echidna and you'll have lots of holes in your hands
~ male platypus have fighting spurs with poison glands on their back feet
~ open forest-dwelling jack-jumping ants bite and sting at the same time
~ seriously pissed off big male kangaroos can easily disembowel a person or dog,
~ the dominant male feral deer get territorial in mating season and no one wants to become a trophy on their huge antlers, and
~ local farmers shoot stray dogs on sight, then bury them out of view.
Years ago, we lost a few isolated few small farm dogs and puppies when they strayed away from us, to the huge 3m+ wingspan wedge-tailed eagles that visit to hunt roos, wallabies and rabbits
Remember that The Sanctuary is home to these potentially hazardous animals, birds, reptiles and insects, but stick to the rules, keep clear, everyone goes home happy, and we keep a perfect safety record.
Besides I hate incident paperwork !!
🤝 Mutual Respect and Responsibility:
We welcome families of all sorts including: different cultures, colours, rainbow, neurodiverse and AS, members and veterans of the Australian Defence Force, and the self-reliant differently-abled.
We believe in mutual respect for People and Planet. Our values guide us, and we want to ensure a safe, friendly and harmonious environment for all - our volunteers. farm team, contractors, guests and visitors.

Nestled in the picturesque small town of Joadja this historic working farm offers a peaceful grassed area amongst the orchard.
We are nestled down a quiet dirt country lane, 10 minutes from the Joadja distillery and historic town, 20 minutes to historic Berrima, offering country pub, cafes, art galleries and gift shops, 25 minutes from Mittagong & Bowral.
You will enjoy the peace and tranquillity looking out over the rolling hills and green pastures.
The working sheep & cattle farm is a fourth- generation property. The original hay sheds and orchards were part of the one of the first dairies in the area.
The original trees that are left in the orchard are over 100 years old and still bearing fruit when in season.
We offer our guests toilet facilities, bore water, free wifi if required and communal fire-pit area, there is no electrical hook up or rubbish facilities we ask you to kindly take this with you.
Notlaw Orchard is pet friendly however we do ask that you keep your pets on leads at all time as we are working farm.

Had a great time here, great firepits and some tables and chairs to use around the site, plenty of space was available and the hosts are are lovely and made us feel very welcome. Gorgeous view from the Hill, and a great spot for stargazing on a clear night, my friend and I had a great time looking at stars and nebulas through our telescopes.

Such a beautiful stay at Katie’s Camp. The space is secluded and nicely maintained. Colin is a superstar host and was incredibly helpful the entire stay. An abundance of firewood was provided which was an added bonus.
I highly recommend this sit to anyone considering.

Garth and Jo make you feel so welcomed! From the very beginning to the end they treat you like family!
They have plenty of great spots that I’d say are reachable by 2WD with clearance in dry conditions. But a 4WD/AWD will get you there no matter the weather.
We stayed in a camper van but they have plenty of great tent spots for groups or just on your own. Supplies are close by as Goulburn centre is only 15mins away.
We look forward to coming back soon!

Stayed for one night on the way down form Sydney to Braidwood. Perfect night. Nice raised ground to park up. Good fire pit and lovely to wake up with the local mob of kangaroos outside the van. Joanne and her husband were very hospitable and friendly. Would recommend.

Secluded slice of magic hidden away,surrounded by all the sounds of nature.
Talk about views , which are spectacular at sunrise and sunset.
Best hosts I’ve ever meet Jo and Garth whom, I can call them new friends.
Garth met us on arrival and then escorted us to our selected camp-site , which while we were setting up ,Garth started our fire for us as we arrived during the night .
Plenty of space for your dogs to run around .
I can definitely recommmed for everyone to
just get away not too far from Act or Sydney.
Hosts will assist where necessary and $30 for a trolly of firewood , which burns hot and slow.
100% we be visiting again in the near future.

Colin's property was a fantastic camping spot for our long weekend. Colin helped us by going above and beyond, allowing us to arrive late, starting our fire and giving us directions. He provided us with plenty of firewood, and even gave us a hand cutting more up!! We will be back, and highly recommend for anyone looking for a quite spot with a great view of the night sky, and a great host in Colin.

We had such a beautiful stay at this farm property. The views were absolutely amazing and it was so peaceful being tucked away from everything, exactly what we needed to relax and switch off.
Colin was fantastic. He was really responsive, friendly, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. He even provided firewood, which made the whole experience even better.
If you’re looking for somewhere quiet, scenic, and relaxing, this is it. We’d definitely come back.

Absolutely wonderful.
Our first off grid caravan experience via hipcamps was just perfect.
From The warm welcome on arrival all the way through to the hand delivered firewood and free golfing tips on the private course.
The camp site was quiet with a view of the valley that did not disappoint.
The fire did not stop for 4 days.
Highly recommend visiting Jo and Garth on the farm…….and try the bloody honey !
