Retreat Shearers' Quarters

1 site · RV, Tent1700 acres · Junee, NSW

PLEASE NOTE: Retreat is a working farm. For biosecurity reasons, we cannot host visitors who have returned from overseas within the last 10 days. Retreat is a historic sheep station and regenerative farm on Pinchgut Creek, in Wiradjuri Country, on the southwest slopes of NSW. Strategic grazing methods are fostering biodiversity (above and below ground). Creekside revegetation has brought the waterway back to life. Birdlife abounds. Take a walk along the creek, through the regenerating woodland. Pitch your tent under shady white cedar trees, beside the Retreat Shearer's Quarters. After sunset, listen for the mopoke owls, which sometimes call from the branches of ancient yellow box trees. Nights are dark here. Marvel at a sky full of stars. Occasionally, a rare Australasian bittern, nesting in the reed beds on Pinchgut Creek, will add its booming call to the night time frog chorus. Butcher birds often sing at sunrise. The towns of Cootamundra, Temora and Junee are less than half an hour away. Guests have access to two hot showers, a laundry, toilet, and drinking water (rainwater). There is access to electricity, but no rubbish facilities. We ask that you remove all of your own rubbish, as we don't have a council rubbish pickup service. Stay cozy in the evenings around the campfire. Campfires can be made in the cooler months, by permission, and only in the designated fire circle. Tents may only be set up under the old, shady white cedar trees on the western side of the long, corrugated iron dormitory building, with a view towards the creek. The campsite is 2WD accessible and there's plenty of room for motorhomes, campervans and camper trailers. The campsite is grassy and level, but the area can get boggy in wet weather.

Just 10 kilometres east of Wagga Wagga CBD, the small suburb has easy access to the airport and the Sturt Highway—ideal for road-trippers continuing to Canberra or Sydney. Campers have options here—for spacious caravan sites or cabin rentals, check into one of the tourist parks, which provide powered sites and plenty of on-site amenities.

Either way, you’ll have easy access to the city’s shops, restaurants, and cafés, as well as the Riverina wine region, the picturesque Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens, and the Wiradjuri Trail, a popular challenge for hikers and mountain bikers.
