The McClure family welcomes you to stay with them at Kallara Station, situated on the banks of the Darling River near Tilpa NSW.
Kallara is the perfect place to experience what the outback has to offer… friendly people, fishing, bird-watching, four-wheel driving, sitting by the fire, getting away from it all.
Justin, Julie, Holly, James, Sophie and Fred are custodians of the historic Kallara Station which dates back to 1857 and once comprised of some 993,140 acres.
Kallara is a ‘certified’ organic property of 150,000 acres and produces organic lamb, organic wool and organic oilseeds from the fertile, ancient flood plains of the Darling and Paroo Rivers.
