Bimbivale is a working farm located half way between Sydney and Brisbane on the New England Highway. We grow superfine wool, sheep and beef cattle, and we enjoy working with our Australian Stock Horses, Welsh Mountain Ponies and various working dogs on farm. There are critically endangered White Box - Yellow Box - Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodlands located across the property, making it a beautiful place to experience the great Aussie outdoors. Being granite country, the property offers some special rocky outcrops and features. You may get to see some rare or even endangered species here. At 1100 m elevation, the winters are cold (with occasional snow), and the summers are divine, with daytime maximums reaching a top of around 28-30 degrees. Activities include bushwalking, mountain biking, fishing for trout or yellow belly in the farm dams, watching spectacular sunrises or sunsets from elevated parts of the New England landscape, watching your campfire crackle (fire season permitting), visiting the nearby Dobson's Gin Distillery or Kentucky General Store (10-12 km), or treating yourself to Uralla's many fine eateries or shopping experiences just 20 km up the highway. Bimbivale is also just 45 minutes from Tamworth and its Country Music Festival and AELEC (Australia Equine & Livestock Events Centre), or just 30 minutes from Armidale, host city to the University of New England and base for visiting the many National Parks and World Heritage Wilderness areas the region offers. Our camp sites are located along a central ridge line, which is fully accessible by motorhomes, caravans, camper trailers and two wheel drive cars in dry weather conditions. Most sites have a fire pit and access to water, but we recommend you byo drinking water. We can top up drinking water if required. Currently we prefer visitors who have their own ensuite/toilet facilities, although we will soon offer a toilet on-site. Sometimes we can offer eggs and fruit or vegetables from our orchard and garden. We are happy for your well-behaved dog to visit with you, as long as it remains confined or on a leash at all times. If you have more than 6 guests or 3 cars in your group, please book additional sites and we can ensure you are all able to camp together.These sites are situated along our central ridge with extensive sunrise and sunset views over the landscape. It's just a short walk to two lovely dams where you can swim. Koalas and possums are regularly seen in this area. Guests may be able to see other guests along this ridge line. Non potable water is available from various ridge line water points. Guests will need to be self contained, take waste with them and leave no trace.

Great views of the New England highway as it snakes along the Ridge, entertaining to watch the traffic when it gets dark. The sight we had was exposed to the weather and may be a wee bit fun during storm season.

We wanted a quick overnighter for some peace & quiet and that’s exactly what we got. Well kept paddock, fire pit to use and plenty of firewood around. Our dogs enjoyed a dip in the dams and we all enjoyed walks around the paddocks. Easy to find and easy access on our 2WD van. Thank you for a great stay!

Nice and quiet location in beautiful nature. You even have the option to make a bonfire or go swimming in a nearby lake. Unfortunately we only stopped through briefly - I hope we can enjoy longer next time
