Currently, each site enjoys exclusive use and can host up to 50 plus campers. This means your group can stay at each site you book and no one else .I want you to enjoy the peace and tranquility my open spaces can provide while a remnant stand of eucalypts gives some privacy and shade.( Site 1 , "Above the Olives" ) is a cleared level site (5 acres just for you) with excellent views and easy 2WD access. The whole farm consists of about 50 acres of undulating hills and gentle slopes currently under sheep grazing and olives. Features include a hill with 300-degree views of surrounding farmland and includes a distant view of Mt Buller " on a clear winter day (snowcapped in winter). Warby Ranges are 6km away as a northern view backdrop.

Some of his surviving family would have drunk there after it was rebuilt to what it is now that is. This historic local pub is a brisk 5-minute walk away and say a "10 minutes coming back". Great meals, a cold beer and hearty fellowship await. Ned Kelly and his brothers and kin roamed this locality and some relatives still live in the greater area around. Soak up the vista they lived in and would have seen. Not much has changed in 100 years around here. Glenrowan is just 14 km away.The Campsites are located on Grassed areas interspersed with a few degrading and compacted mudstone outcrop terraces providing ideal camping spots. A remnant stand of 40-60-year-old Redgums, apple boxes, and eucalypts provide mottled shade with some privacy. No firewood removal policy applies. Music playing needs to be sensitive to the environment, Site 2 affords a hill with a north-facing aspect. Downhill slightly an amphitheater will be hewn from a small disused gravel pit terrace area. Minimal site impact will create a half-sound shell envisaged ideal for outdoor plays and small festival gatherings. Music must be controlled and limited to reasonable hrs of duration by a booking arrangement and commitment to be responsible.
