Pat the horses , fish in the river ,take a walk up through the bush or simply sit back and relax . To get onto the river flats you will need to drive through a shallow river with a rock bottom but It won’t take you long to find some lovely swimming holes and fishing spotsSituated Close to Ulverstone and 20 mins from the spirit of Tasmania This tranquil property has the Gawler river winding its way around beautiful river flats which are tucked away on our working farm .

    A very peaceful camping spot.
    Tent · With pets
    We enjoyed the peace and quiet there, and were on our own. All we could hear is the creek, the crickets and the wind in the tall gum tree. It is a great spot to get away, and is only ten minutes out of Ulverstone. Candy was very helpful and welcoming.

    Lovely spot and the kids really enjoyed it. The stream was great for the kids to play in and we all had a very relaxing and peaceful time and some great scenery to look at
