    Growing healthy food is a great idea, but what about the work involved and the rewards are not guaranteed. It can seem less trouble and even cheaper to swing by the supermarket and have food in the fridge ready when we come home tired and hungry. What's the solution? - Bringing back Nature's FREE ecological services! We'll show you how you can use this eco-logical approach in your garden or farm. Hill Top Farm is the education centre and demonstration site for 'Learning from Nature'. See learningfromnature.com.au for more information. We charge $110 per tour whether the tour is for a single person or group.

    Peaceful and private

    Wendys campground was lovely ! Very peaceful away from the town. Large site, would easily fit a few cars comfortable. Amenities were beautifully kept, very clean and well maintained. Dam is a little bit of a walk threw some long grass.

    Wendy's farm is beautifully private. We were surrounded by fruit trees. Access is easy and parking was sufficient for 2 familes with 2 utes and a boat. Dogs are allowed but make sure they are used to chickens as Wendy's chooks roam free during the daytime. Toilets are the cleanest drop toilets we've used. Showers and washing machine were great. Located an easy drive to Cooktown. Well worth the drive to enjoy the peace and privacy away from the crowds.
