Lovingly developed for 15 years as a mindful refuge & wildlife corridor by Victoria, a filmmaker/permaculture designer, the property was completely destroyed in 2018. Thus the mega bushfire cycle began impacting forever most of NSW's flora, fauna & people. Nature ultimately prevails & slowly the untamed terrain is healing.
After studying at RMIT School of Architecture & Design for three years with the intention to design tiny living house systems better suited for harsh environments, Victoria has returned. Slowly she rebuilds a humble off-grid existence from the burnt-out bus fusing knowledge of building design with her food forests/aquaponics passion, keen to create an environmentally connected experience to share with like-minded others.
By staying you are helping her & all the wild things emerge from the ashes.
Thank you.

We had a fantastic stay at Joadja Gorge campground! It was incredibly private—we were the only ones camping there, so Monica and I had the whole site to ourselves along with our two pugs, Brenda and Barry. The campsite itself was huge, easily big enough to fit at least three other cars comfortably, giving us plenty of space to stretch out.
Brenda and Barry had a blast roaming around and exploring the grounds. The views of the gorge were absolutely magnificent, which was definitely the highlight of the trip, along with the great walking trails nearby. Being so close to Sydney while still getting to unplug and completely immerse ourselves in nature makes it a massive win.
We will definitely be back again!

We did a couple of nights tent camping with kids and a pup and loved the little walk down to the river. Weather was luckily lovely. Very noisy when windy. Unfortunately the flushable toilet was broken when we were there but plenty of other option for compostable ones. Host was also very lovely. Plenty of things to do with kids too. Pups enjoyed their freedom. It’s not a hotel trip so what’s provided were enough to enjoy the camping. No water line but plenty of drinkable water provided too. Phone reception was also handy to have. Enjoyed the stay very much.

We enjoyed a cold and initially very windy winter camp, seeking some shelter next to the old farm sheds. The orchard paddock was very well maintained, and we were fortunate to only share with one other group. The communal fire pit was very welcome once the wind dropped, with plenty of fire wood provided. The bore-water tap was convenient & located centrally. Now I’ve had to use a lot of porta-loos over the years, and I’d argue this one is likely the cleanest one in the world. Pristine. Alessandra and Kerrie run a tight ship - very friendly and welcoming.

We had a fantastic stay at Platypus Flat and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. The campsite is exactly as described—peaceful, private and the perfect place to switch off for a few days.
Falling asleep each night to the sound of the Hollanders River was an absolute highlight, and waking up to such a beautiful setting each morning made it even better. Sitting around the campfire in the evenings with the river as the backdrop was incredibly relaxing and a great way to finish each day.
Danny was great to deal with, and his property information, directions and arrival instructions were spot on, making everything easy from start to finish.
We stayed in early July, so be prepared for cold nights—it dropped to around 0°C while we were there. With a good campfire, warm sleeping bags and the right gear, it made for a fantastic winter camping experience. The days were sunny and pleasant, reaching the mid-teens.
If you’re looking for a quiet riverside campsite where you can truly unwind and enjoy nature, Platypus Flat is hard to beat. Thanks again, Danny, for sharing your beautiful property with us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back.

Overview
About
Embark on an adventure through the historic Yerranderie State Conservation Area, where scenic wonders and a rich past intertwine. Roam through the remnants of a bygone mining era, hike along pristine trails, and witness the diverse wildlife that calls this 12,192-hectare expanse home. While the park's camping options are not detailed, the area promises a wealth of activities for the intrepid explorer.
When to go
The best time to visit Yerranderie State Conservation Area is during the milder seasons of spring and autumn, when the weather is pleasant for outdoor activities. Summer can be quite warm, making it less ideal for strenuous hikes. Always check for current alerts and fire bans before planning your trip, as conditions can greatly affect park accessibility and safety.
Know before you go
- Check the latest updates on fires, closures, and other alerts before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
- Access to Yerranderie is via 4WD vehicles only, with some creek crossings potentially challenging for vehicles with low clearance.
- Be mindful of park fire bans; during these periods, all campfires and solid fuel barbecues are prohibited.
