Overnight: Bullo River Station

Your days can be filled with dust, sweat and the exhilaration of station life or by simply enjoying a gorgeous lunch by a billabong, taking a sneaky quick dip at a beautiful swimming hole or discovering Aboriginal Rock Art, all in this stunning outback country that Bullo River Station is situated on. The station has a 4,000 strong herd of Brahman-cross cattle, spread across half a million acres and managing them is included in the list of daily tasks to do. You can get out on the station in a 4WD, all terrain vehicle or on horseback.

Activities include bore checks, lick runs and cattle yard work. There are poddy calves to be fed and muster training to do. Or just decide to take a farm tour to learn about everything they do. When two feet is your best way to explore, well trodden trails by cattle or wallabies will take you to billabongs, water holes and river pools where you can watch (and listen) to the wildlife. Take in the breathtaking views as you traverse along the gorges & ridgelines.

The iconic Bullo River Station homestead is situated on the convergence of the Victoria and Bullo Rivers. The generous and comfortable rooms, tasty wholesome meals and cold drinks at the end of the day will revive you after spending a day enjoying the stations activities. Breakfast is served outside on the verandah. Lunch can be a picnic basket filled with goodies to enjoy by a waterhole. Dinner is best enjoyed under the stars in the light of a campfire with new friends.
