During the winter the dry boulder-strewn gorge is transformed with waterfalls and cascades along its length and regardless of the season transports you to another time and place. There is limited solar power (enough for phones and laptops) and low flow water (enough to brush your teeth). Neither is guaranteed to be available. A wood stove heats the hut, boils the kettle and cooks your dinner; firewood is included. An open outdoor bathroom includes a sink, bath and drop toilet. Hot water is available but not promised. The hut is fenced and well-behaved dogs are welcome. This property is suited to resourceful guests who are familiar with lighting fires, swinging an axe and understanding rural courtesies. The abundance of wildlife is used to peace so if you are taking a dog with you then please keep it within eyesight and always under your control. Please also consider that the mobs of kangaroos that roam the property include some large bucks (boomers) that can be confrontational if surprised so please proceed with caution if approaching grazing animals.

1 site · RV, Tent34 acres · Wedderburn, VIC

My 34 acre property is surrounded by State Conservation Reserve, and offers peaceful, private camping with the convenience of being just 1k from town. You can walk or cycle to the local pub for a meal! Choose from a few areas where the site is semi cleared with slight rolling hills, seasonal creek and dam. I take one group at a time only, so you'll have the place to yourselves! There is an abundance of bird life, so great for bird watchers or those that just enjoy the sounds of nature. Plenty of options for bushwalking and bike riding. The property makes a great base for exploring the region (Locals tip: check out Logan's iconic Pub in the Scrub and Melville Caves).
