088A2380 - Trek West

We have just returned from the most amazing experience ever “The Stock Camp Trek” on Herbertvale Station. We had four nights at The Stock Camp which was glamping at its finest – spacious Bell Tents, flushing toilet and a hot shower!

Our days were filled trekking and exploring this magnificent part of the world – landscapes, gorges, open plains each and every direction a symphony for the eyes. It was also fascinating to talking to Shelly and Tilly and learning about life on the land. I will now look at a steak on the supermarket shelf a different way – I’ll see the steak and now know the story behind it.

One absolute hands down highlight was walking into The Lost City.
Historians, geologists, scientists, archaeologists and palaeontologists please take a deep breath….. a really really deep breath – It was part of an inland sea and is over 530 million years old. I can barely fathom that number as I say it and then type it! It was jaw dropping awe inspiring to walk amongst a history that was home to the trilobites.

All of the meals were delicious and plentiful. Sunset drinks on our first night was spectacular – beautiful cheese platter and plenty of champagne whilst watching the most magnificent sun set! Our last night’s meal at The Stock Camp was a steak, from Herbertvale Station, cooked on hot plate over a roaring fire. Mouth watering, delicious and a great finale to a wonderful four days!

Thank you Shelly and Tilly for being absolutely fabulous hosts and making the “Stock Camp Trek” and the “Long Lunch” such a memorable experience and one we will all never forget.

A big thanks for an amazing experience, you have delivered beyond expectations. I have really enjoyed the space, the environment, the stillness, the food and the great company. We leave here as a tribe and we met as strangers only a few days ago. Keep up the good work and be proud of what you have created.

I can’t thank you enough for giving me this adventure. I have never experienced such beauty and peacefulness. To experience this with a great group of friends makes it even more special. Thank you again.

Thank you Shelly, Tilly, Pete and Liz for a job well done! You’ve done a wonderful lot of hard work to give us a great experience on your beautiful property, Herbertvale. Your attention to detail was very much appreciated: Crabtree and Evelyn citron soap “and” lotion, pristine white towels, cold cold soda water and lemon, very comfy air-beds and tents, meals and glamorously laid dinner tables every night. We were the kings and queens of your grass castle.

Thank you, we will be back.

Bev Quinn The Big Loop 2019

Wow a thousand times over!!! When I left Brisbane to come on this wonderful 5 day experience all of my city friends said “Judy you camping!” This is not camping, it is GLAMPING. All the wonderful personal touches from our amazing tents to Tilly’s wonderful restaurant services, be it at the Stockcamp of by a waterhole, and the treks so great. It has just been such a great experience over all. Many, many thanks for your wonderful hospitality – I will be back.
