PROPERTY UPDATE (21/11/24) We have now received some very welcomed rain and the creek is flowing yet again. Ilbilbie Station is 1001 acres. There are no neighbours to annoy, as we reside at the end of Landells Road. Our property is a small family owned working cattle station. There is native wildlife , birds and kangaroos . Sit and relax , take a dip in the creek or explore the property . There's a service station just up the road for food, ice, fuel etc (scroll down further for full detailed instructions on how to get here)We purchased this little piece of paradise three years ago, to slow down a bit and run a few head of cattle (approx. 100 head) Ilbilbie Station Farm Stay is only a few minutes off the Bruce highway and approx. 1-2 klm of dirt road. We're easy to find - 1. turn into Ilbilbie service station (United) 2. go over the railway line behind the servo 3. follow road around to the right ( approx 400m) 4. turn left into Landells road 5. continue down Landells Rd (go past "Little Bity Station") 6. take the road to the left , go slow thru the dip. 7. You have arrived This is bush camping at its best, with creek frontage in places surrounded by trees and mountains with NO amenities available at this time. Many a friend has camped by the creek, and loved every minute of it, so we thought we would like others to share this experience. Dogs are allowed, preferably on a leash/lead as we do have cattle. And yes, having cattle means cow poop and occasional mooing of cows. You will find a few horses roaming around too. All types of campers, caravans, RVs, tents are welcome to set up anywhere you choose on the property where signed (just be mindful of fellow campers and try not to camp on top of them, especially if running a generator). We ask that all campers are fully self-contained (own toilet is essential at the moment - NO toilet facilities NO entry sorry) please take rubbish with you when you leave. (Grey water is allowed to be released onto the ground) leveling of caravans maybe required in places. If there's a sign on the gate saying 'KEEP OUT' then that's exactly what it means. Marion Creek runs thru our place providing beautiful fresh water to swim, paddle a kayak and search for the little turtles. Please understand that we do have dry times, so the creek may not always be running, but there's always water. You're welcome to have a fire in the rock pits provided, so gather your timber (from fallen trees only) and enjoy, we will cut some for you too . If you're needing any supplies Ilbilbie service station on the highway has most things you may need food, ice, fuel, grocery items, hotbox etc. If you'd like to take a look around Greenhills and Carmila beach are close and Cape Palmerston National Park is just up the road. Sarina is a 1/2 hr drive and Mackay approx 1 hr away. The closest dump points to the north, is in Sarina beside Mitre 10 (turn left at first set of lights) to the south at Carmila Beach. We are very new to this concept (of allowing people onto our property) so please feel free to give some feedback and let us know what you think. Our Hipcamp is a work in progress, with things that still need to be done , please bare with us . We ask that you book via Hipcamp and we'll stay in contact with you when required. You will be provided with a keypad code when you book, which will expire on your departure. If the keypad is playing up, please ring me and I can let you in, no worries. (We are not a commercial camp ground) Please be advised - AS ITS OUR DRY TIME OF THE YEAR , the creek has dropped. So use of the swing and flying fox , isn’t recommend atm , but you can still swim and paddle the canoe or kayak .

Beautiful property with very friendly horses. Amazing area with well set up camp areas situated on the creek. Gary & Carmen were very friendly and welcoming. Look forward to returning in the future.

Sensational
What a beautiful place! We love not stayed for one night but could have stayed longer. Very peaceful and serene location by the creek. Even had two friendly horses come by for a visit. Gary and Jordan were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful farm.

Nice green grass, water in the creek to swim in, quiet at night, wide open campgrounds. There is shady areas for the hotter days or sunny areas to help solar to put power back into your batteries. Friendly hosts. You wake up with Cows and horses walking around. Just an all round station camping experience.

Peace and quiet
Only minutes off the Bruce Highway yet so quiet. Only there a night but it was so peaceful. A little uneven but hey, it's a working cattle property not a resort.

This place is absolutely magical! We would recommend this farm stay to anyone, especially those with kids. They loved the cows and horses and had so much fun playing in the creek. Can’t wait to come back.
