This beautiful property has been nurtured by my parents since 1983. As a boy I helped my parents remove large amounts of lantana weeds by hand. Other invasive weeds have been controlled, allowing the native species time and space to regenerate themselves into the perfect example of native Australian sclerophyll forest that you see today. My parents have since retired and I'm now honored to have the opportunity to share this remarkable environment with you.This campsite is an elevated & level camp, overlooking the beautiful Australian bush. Positioned on a sandstone ridge, facing north east, you'll feel at peace among well established eucalyptus & sclerophyll forest.  The camp site is about 10 meters-square. It's privately secluded from the main public road, but close enough to hear the occasional vehicle. The sandy soils here challenge the under story with low fertility and often dry conditions. Common wildlife include echidna, goanna, wallabies, various insects, and a wide variety of bird-life.  You'll need to be self-contained with your own camping toilet/shower and water. Please only use the designated stone fire-pit. Dogs on leashes & horses are welcome. There is ample opportunity here for self-guided bush walking & exploring the amazing natural environment. Be aware, due to the sloping land & dense trees, trailers cannot be turned around once inside the property. Please un/load trailers outside, opposite the driveway entrance, on the side of the main public Dyraaba Road. The property is 50 hectares fenced on all sides & you are free to roam on foot or horseback throughout. Unfortunately motorized vehicles including motorcycles, are not permitted to drive on this property. On a clear day, in the distant horizon you can spot Wollumbin Mountain (AKA 'Mount Warning') which is also the most prominent mountain visible from Byron Bay, & throughout Bundjalung country. Dyraaba is part of the traditional lands of the GULI-BUL tribal area, within the greater Bundjalung Nation. This HipCamp site is about 100km or 1.5hr drive inland from Byron Bay, NSW.

The alone time in the bush away from it all, yet close to help that is needed. Love the sounds of night times.

Daniels little slice of bush camping space was awesome. From the time of booking, to the communication and camping it was flawless. Absolutely loved staying here over the Australia day long weekend. Daniel was very prompt with his replies and communication was clear and precise. Very easy to find with the gps navigating. Felt like you were alone in the bush, then you'd hear the odd car go past, but we were very secluded and loved that. Take mozzie repellent as being in nature you can imagine the amount of mozzies, spiders etc. that you'd come across. We were a little on edge with the bush and bracken around (this we knew to expect beforehand, being a conservation area) and the potential of seeing snakes etc and having our little dog with us, but we kept him on a short reign at all times and kept him safe. No snakes were sighted, thankfully. It was a nice relief knowing we had phone service incase of an accident. Would definately go back here again for a few days piece and quiet

In my top 5! Loved it!

Beautiful, quiet spot all to yourself. Highly recommend. Daniel has made this a great haven to get away from a busy life, and be emerged in nature. Site is fairly easy to find, although I did drive past it the first time. There is a quiet unsealed road near by, but is very quiet and will hardly notice the noice once you tune in the nature around you.
