Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Eight acres of mostly white gums, not far from town, with kangaroos and birds in wide variety. Listen to the magpies' neighbourhood meetings. There are no amenities here, campers will need to be self contained and leave no trace. There's a dam and there's usually peace and quiet. Occasionally this is broken by the Motorkhana throwing donuts in classic cars on the skid pan next door. Special rates are available for these times, which occur only every few weeks, and last only a few hours. On clear nights, the Milky Way is splashed across the sky in majestic panorama.Eight acres of mostly white gum scrub, not far from town, crowded with kangaroos and birds in wild variety. Observe the magpies' neighbourhood meetings and wake up laughing with the kookaburras. You'll need to be self-sufficient, so short-term stays for now.

Special rates are available for these times, which occur only every few weeks. Otherwise, tranquility prevails, and there's not a soul in sight.
