Wooleen Station might feel a million miles away, but there’s no shortage of things to do. Feeling active? Borrow a mountain bicycle and set off on one of the signposted trails. Bird watchers may wish to head to Yewlands Pool or Wooleen Lake, where several notable bird species have begun to return since the new land management practices were introduced. If it’s hot, head to the Murchison River. This serenely still body of water, surrounded by wide, sandy banks and giant, wizened gum trees is perfect for a cool afternoon swim. There’s even a canoe here if you feel like hopping in (just grab the paddle from the homestead before you set off). Whatever you choose, make sure your schedule has you back for dinner. In line with your hosts’ sustainability principles, much of the food is grown organically on site, and their memorable meals are served over several courses at a long table lit by candlelight.
