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.

Thank you Shelly & Crew for an amazing experience. The landscape, the hikes, and wonderful hospitality. I felt like we were staying with friends. Thank you for going out of your way to cater for our every need and allowing us to share your stunning property. Loved the experience, blisters and all.

The first Trek West Big Loop Hike was awesome. Great organisation and attention to detail. The scenery, geology and landscape totally different and interesting. At age 65 it was great to walk The Big Loop Trail and enjoy the great company and the challenge of walking the distance.

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.

Knocked my socks off! What a terrific mind escape in a vast, ancient and beautiful landscape. The camaraderie of companionship was just brilliant, a credit to the structure of the trek. All the finer details – refreshing face clothes, fine champagne, white linen tablecloths and nutritious meals topped off each stage of the trek. AMAZING!!!

Joy McClymont “Dalkeith” Longreach Qld Fitness Hub Hike 2017

I have run out of superlatives before I start. We have had just the best week. In some respects it was like “coming home” to some of the spots of my youth. So well planned and thank also to Tilly for her great contribution. I could say more but the best compliment I can give you is to tell you I’ll be back. Loved it!!

Lindsay Allan Stockcamp Hike July 2018

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.
