Connect with the land and immerse yourself in the tranquility of rural life.
Nestled on the edge of the Australian outback lies Gilgooma, a quintessential Australian family farm. Owned and operated by three generations of a farming family, Gilgooma offers a unique opportunity to connect with the land and immerse oneself in the tranquility and occasional challenges of rural life.
At Gilgooma, guests can enjoy a low-impact camping experience on this family-run property, surrounded by the untouched beauty of the Australian bush. Accommodation options include unpowered campsites, powered sites and cozy cabins, each providing a private retreat beneath the starlit skies.
The farm offers a wealth of activities for guests to create their own adventures, from peaceful walks along creek beds to rugged trails. Visitors can birdwatch, stargaze from shearer’s stretchers, or explore the farm and its surroundings through self-guided tours to discover hidden treasures.
