Complimentary Activities

It’s not just the outback, it’s an outback adventure.

Station Tours

Explore our historic cattle station aboard a four wheel bike, the buggy or in the comfort of a ute. Along side our stockmen, you’ll feel the passion and energy of their work. See The Station pages of this website for more information about Burrawang Beef and our White Dorper Stud

Wildlife Spotting

Paddle a canoe or dingy along 8 kilometres of the tranquil Yarrabandai billabong. Paradise for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, Burrawang’s waterways form a natural wildlife reserve. With the support of the Lachlan River Catchment Authority, we’ve implemented special measures to ensure the long term viability of this important environment which is home to a wide array of native Australian birds and wildlife, including many protected and endangered species.
See the Wildlife Reserve page of this website for more information

Common sightings include playful kangaroos and wallabies, entertaining emus, awesome goanna lizards, cheeky hares, insistent galas and cockatoos, laughing kookaburras, colorful grass parrots and majestic eagles. Dedicated birdwatchers can easily observe less common specimen such as Superb Parrot, Sacred Kingfisher and Brown Tree Creeper.
See the Birdwatching page of this website for more information about sighted species.

Feeding Time

Who can resist a newborn calf or lamb? Bottle feeding brings you up close and personal with some of our little ones. Even devout city folk can be experts in no time.

Our lovely natured alpacas make excellent guards for birthing sheep and their lambs. But these gentle natured alpacas love guests at feeding time. You’ll find our female alpacas, along with their babies (called crias) in the Homestead paddock.

Foxes beware. Alpacas originated from South America but share a common natural enemy with sheep; the fox. Although no one knows exactly why, alpacas’ herd animal instincts, particularly those of male alpacas, make them very protective of birthing ewes, especially when threatened by a fox. Heaven help any fox that gets too close to our lambs!

Sporting Pursuits

Compete, or just play. Two floodlit tennis courts, a par 3 golf hole, an archery range and sparkling 20 metre swimming pool, and all the equipment, are available on site, any time. Enjoy a full round of golf at our local course. You might have to wait . . . roos love those greens!

Relaxation

Kick back in an indoor or outdoor spa. Steam your cares away in a soothing sauna. Recline in your favourite squatter's chair, perched on the veranda of your private lodge or at the homestead. You’ll find a perfect spot to unwind and wonder at open skies and endless views.

Catch and Release

Throw in a line. Fishermen and novices alike enjoy the fight of Yellowbelly, Murray Cod and Silver Perch found in our billabong. But if you’ve never been yabbie hunting, you’re in for a thrill. These little crustaceans are crafty creatures and delicious fare. A great pursuit guaranteed to bring out the child in you.

Camp Ovens and Picnics

Al fresco dining takes on new meaning when set in Australia’s outback. Whether it’s under the star canopy around a traditional bush drover’s camp oven, or beneath swaying river gums along side the billabong, there’s nothing like fresh air and great food.

Star Gazing

Our vast southern sky becomes a heavenly spectacle as night falls. The purpose built viewing tower makes reaching for the stars a favourite night time activity.

Art Appreciation

If your passion runs to art, a self guided tour of Burrawang’s private art and antique collection is sure to satisfy. Tastefully incorporated throughout Burrawang's homestead and boutique lodges, paintings, sculptures, photography and other artworks/artifacts represent colonial and contemporary artists from Gould to Valamanesh. See the Art Collection page on this site for more information.
