Welcome to Barcy! Looking for a campsite where you can camp on your own or with just your friends? Want to learn more about wool growing and sheep grazing businesses? Want to see wildlife (eagles, brolgas, red kangaroos, echidnas) and livestock in their paddocks? Consider the self-drive tour. Walk the pet, light a fire at night and let the kids explore. Several sites have hot water for open air baths. Dunblane is a wool sheep grazing property located just off the Landsborough (Matilda) Highway 8km west of Barcaldine. We welcome guests and we're happy to share our place with others. Only one booking allowed at each site so you will have the site to your self, although you are able to book for friends. Pull in, light a fire, watch for falling stars, walk the dog and let the kids explore. Check the sunsets that never fail.  Amenities depend on the site booked - check the options listed. Kids under 15 stay free!  Dog friendly.

If you want to stay somewhere that is private then this is your spot. The hot tub at sunset whilst drinking a glass or three of Chardy was a bonus. We also did David's Self Drive Farm tour which was great... Plenty to see and do and plenty of firewood. Would recommend for anyone that just wants a night or two away from reality

Best farm stay ever
Amazing farm stay, David was a brilliant host, very passionate about his farm. We were very lucky to have some sheep shearing while we were there. David took the time to explain the whole process to us and get the kids involved, which was a highlight of their holiday. The self drive tour of the farm was great, with all the sheep, roo’s, goats, emus etc. And the artesian hot baths were amazing and so relaxing at sunset or looking at the stars. Just brilliant, we will have to stay a week next time.

We ended staying at McBrides flowing bore at the advice of David. David was excellent as a host. The tour of the station was amazing. The site was a bit rustic but the rain out there has been good so there was long grass. The artesian water is amazing and the bath watching the sunset was lovely. Due to storms, we stayed the last night at the shearing shed and the view from the baths there was amazing. We got to see David muster sheep from one paddock to another. His knowledge of sustainable farming practices and the way they look after the land and their animals is amazing. Great information to learn in the shearing shed and in the booklets. We stayed for 3 nights with 2 kids (10&8). They thoroughly enjoyed it. It was hot on our second day, so we went into town for a swim at the rec reserve. So close to town if need be but seems like a million miles away. You can’t hear the traffic but can see the lights on the train. Great to see at night.

The shearing shed was a great spot with great information from the host provided. A sunset bubble bath with a glass of bubbly made this 10/10.

Overall we had a fun time at Dunblane. It was pouring and unfortunately there was nowhere really to pitch a tent where it wasn't sitting in a puddle. Thankfully it had subsided a little the next day. The bore baths were fabulous, overlooking the plains and a beautiful sunset on our second night. Thank you, David!
