Our property is located on the site of the First Kilkivan Township and was home to a gold rush in 1868 where a 73 oz nugget was discovered.
Guests will have access to a portable toilet and fire pit throughout their stay.
Gold is still found in and around the creek with fossicking permitted at an extra daily rate of $25 per person. As this is private property we require that all the QLD Fossicking Act rules and regulations are followed this includes having your own permit which must be supplied before fossicking is permitted. These rules include no machinery or pump operated sluices such as high banking sluices.
Detectors are welcome and some great finds have been found with them including gold and coins from the 1860’s.
Large groups are welcome.
There are many great shaded camping spots along the creek or a large open area of about 50 acres for larger groups. There is also a year round swimming hole fed by a solar bore on the property for anyone wanting to cool down.
Kids under 12 are free but if fossicking must be covered by a permit. Pets are welcome.

What a great camp spot with a fantastic host.
Although it was a bit wet, we enjoyed our time at the site.
Beautiful freshwater creek flowing through.
Our dog loved this spot.
We did need some help on the way out, and Neville was there to help. Thankyou Neville we appreciate and will return on our next travel through the area.

Beautiful farmland with fresh creek running through. Old gold mining settlement to explore. Plenty of things to do for everyone. Neville is welcoming and easy going. I will definitely be returning.
