Experience the outback at Bullara Station, Western Australia

Camps Ambassadors, Adams Family Travels, enjoyed a stop at Bullara Station, a working cattle station located between Exmouth and Coral Bay in WA. They offer a range of accommodation including self contained cottages, powered and unpowered camp sites and a shearers lodge. Try one of their unique showers. There is a communal fire pit that is lit every night and evening meals are available. There are several signed walks around the property including a sunset viewing hill. Be sure to try their homemade scones and/or coffee between 8.30am and midday. Find this site and more nearby in the CAMPS guide books, new

Romantic Boonoo Boonoo Falls, New South Wales

Before you get to Boonoo Boonoo National Park, you need to get the lingo right! It’s pronounced Bunna Boo Nu. Practice it, soon it will roll off the tongue. I hadn’t quite done that in the video! https://youtu.be/PbkorYCfx4c The photos simply don’t do it justice! The lookout is where Banjo Paterson proposed to his missus, so they say! No wonder she said yes, Boonoo Boonoo Falls is breathtaking. It is an effort to get to also – 43 km from Stanthorpe, Queensland or 23 km from Tenterfield, New South Wales, turn west. It is 4 km on the Boonoo Boonoo

New Outback Camp in Beltana, South Australia

If you are travelling along the Outback Highway in South Australia, we’d recommend a short detour into the historic town of Beltana. Unfortunately nearby Beltana Station is no longer offering camping, but the small town of Beltana has filled that gap. Approximately 12 km east of the old Roadhouse turnoff (the road is currently being sealed with bitumen), volunteers from the Progress Association have been busy creating a place for campers to feel welcome. Beltana is a State Heritage listed town with a remarkable array of old buildings and an impressive town hall, the site of which has been chosen

A pilgrimage to “The Dig Tree”, Coopers Creek, Queensland

The Dig Tree – image Keith Skinner Very recently I achieved my long time ambition to visit Burke and Wills Camp number 65 on Coopers Creek, the very famous “Dig Tree”. At this point, if you are asking yourself; ‘What is a Dig Tree, forget it. Stop reading right now. However, if I have just touched your travel adventurous inner-self, you’re now moving closer to the text, looking for what comes next. On arrival at the Dig Tree, my first thought was; I’m here. But where am I, I asked myself? I’m on the bank of a cream coloured river

Waterfall camp: Butterfly Falls, Limmen National Park, Northern Territory

Butterfly Falls is in Limmen National Park, NT. You can camp beside them – budget priced, with toilets, shade, views and the CAMPS tick of approval! No pets or Big Rigs. On the Savannah Way, it is a must do. You need to be self sufficient if driving this remote route. Remember it is seasonal, so you may not be able to swim here in the dry season. Infact, it is the only safe swimming spot away from crocodiles, in the entire park! Towards the end of the dry it can become stagnant and unsuitable for a dip. What else to
