The Freedom Farm has been in our family for nearly 50 years and we know it has a much longer history as a place of gathering, healing, learning and celebration. The spirits are strong here. We have been working the last few years on Rewilding the land and it is the healthiest it has been in my lifetime. Encompassing salt marsh, casuarina forests, open grassland and gumtree groves there is an incredible diversity of species to be found on this relatively small property. Bordered by Mangrove Creek it is protected on all sides by sandstone mountains yet remains sunny and open. A lush and powerful place.

Beautiful river, uncleared campsite
The little beach and the beautiful water made this place! Hosts were lovely. However, upon arriving, we were shocked to see no mown/unslashed areas where we were to park our van. There was long grass (I’m talking to my knees) everywhere, which is such a snake risk! And Our kids got tones of bindies/grass seeds in their socks from just walking around our van. There was zero cleared or mowed areas. Way overpriced for what we got! Just a toilet (which was a nice composting one) and it was $97 (1 night, mid week!) for our young family of 4. Won’t stay again.

Gorgeous spot
Had a truly lovely camping weekend with friends at Freedom Farm. Great swimming, super quiet, loved the kayaks and all the useful things available for campers to use. Great toilets! Ground pretty dirty where the grass has been worn down, but there were mats available for us to place down which helped heaps!

Ticked every box!
Fabulous spot to accommodate 5 families. Short walk to the sandbank for swimming and free use of the kayaks. Compost toilet. Beautiful surroundings and private. Will be back for sure!

Sarah’s land was absolutely beautiful. The directions were clear and she answered any questions we had before we arrived. We all took part in the smoking/yarning circle and learnt so much about the land, vegetation and aboriginal culture. Johanna took her time to answer all of our children’s questions and was incredibly patient. Swimming in the river was a highlight as was spotting all the beautiful birds that visited us on our campsite.

We had a brilliant weekend of camping with 8 families. The site is private and spacious. Great weather meant we could enjoy the river and kayaks. Johanna was a wonderful host, happy to make suggestions about the surrounds. We will be back!!
