Our property "Arcadia" is located at Moongan, which was once a bustling Railway Station at the top of the Rack Railway. "Arcadia" is just over 2 acres with a nice flat camping spot beside the seasonal creek. You will be camping right where early settlers once camped and watered their draught horses in bygone days. Teamsters would gather here and collaborate to join their teams together to traverse the steep Razorback bringing supplies to the gold mine and its workers. Behind the homestead the land rises steeply to overlook the valley below and offers nice views for sunset gazers. We are at the very start of a permaculture makeover, with the design phase still in progress. Our business is named Moonrise Organixs and we have a produce stall at the front gate with an ever increasing range of chemical-free products. We have an infant orchard, mandala veggie patch, tea garden, poultry and a small grass arena. We are a kid, dog and horse friendly property! There is an unofficial rail trail nearby and lots of tracks for horse riding, hiking, rock climbing and motor bike riding. The quaint Gold Mining town of Mount Morgan is steeped in history, with a full suite of facilities and is only 5km away. Rockhampton is 25km and Gracemere 15km away. If you are interested in the history of Moongan, just strike up a conversation with Angie and she will be glad to share what she knows. Please note: Mount Morgan is situated at the top of the great Dividing Range. There are two ways to approach Mt Morgan from the east - up the windy range road A3 Burnett Highway or up the straight and steep (17% incline) Razorback Rd. Our property is located at Moongan just at the top of the steep Razorback incline. USE LOW GEAR from the bottom as it gets steeper towards the top. Directions from Bouldecombe: 4km west of Bouldecombe, turn right onto Poison Creek Rd. Follow until the end (4km) then turn left onto Razorback Rd. In another 4 km you will reach the steep incline and our property is at the top. Despite the address being Leydens Hill Rd, the driveway is actually accessed off Razorback Rd. Don't turn down Leydens Hill Rd, especially if you are towing as this is a narrow road and turning around can be difficult. There is a pit dunny outhouse but no shower. We offer a 10amp outlet only. Please come prepared with whatever equipment is needed to convert to 15amp if required. Water is our most precious and limited resource so please arrive with full tanks and adequate drinking water for the duration of your stay. We are in a dry period right now so it is hot and brown. This is a leave no trace site. Please take all your rubbish with you when you leave. If no one is home to greet you please just choose a site in the front driveway paddock which suits you. 😉 We won't be far away. Come in peace, stay in harmony, leave with a full heart.Pitch your tent, set up your van or bus on the flat(ish) area in our front paddock. There is access to power, an outdoor dunny (pit toilet) and bore water available. The whole family will feel comfortable with a camp kitchen, tree house and fire pit. We are pet friendly. Please be self reliant with drinking water and leave no trace. I am getting a lot of feedback that people are having trouble booking online using the Hipcamp app. If in doubt just show up. You are welcome 😊 🙏 and we will sort it out when you get here. Or you can call me on O four O three - to nine to - O six I Angie

Overall we had a good experience- the area is quite large, flat and easily accessible and generous for two sites. Power and water are great amenities as was the large fire pit area that served the other site. But the drop dunny was a bit too rustic for me. There is a bit of traffic noise but not too bad really. Better directions to finding the entrance to the property (driveway is off the main road not the street address) would make things easier.

We absolutely loved our stay here at Angie’s property. We were greeted with a warm welcome from the kids as well as all of the animals. Our dog had the best time exploring. Thanks so much again!

We arrived a little lost, but our host, soon had us in the correct place, we were greeted by Angi, and a gaggle of Guinea Fowl. A delightful oasis with power and water, in a well drained grassy field, Host and Family just amazing and very down to earth, cannot rate highly enough..
