Longwater Camp

Nestled in the foothills of Dimbulah with the Walsh River as boundary, lies this unique gem, 67 acres with a very comfortable, fully furnished and air conditioned 2 bedrooms cottage perched high on the hill overlooking the township.
The land is undulating down to a beautiful loamy paddock with clear access to permanent river. Only 4 km to town with all amenities readily available and situated opposite local airstrip.

Bits of info about camping by the river...
• Please dig deep holes well away from the river for toiletries. Bio paper is preferable if possible.
• You are welcome to have a campfire however Fire Safety is essential in the dry country, please make them in a clear area and never leave unattended while alight.
• There are snakes in this country. Please make sure everyone is aware and ALWAYS walk with the torch at night. I have only seen tree snakes and water pythons so far but there could be others , AWARENESS is essential.
• If you choose to drink the river water please make sure you boil it first.
•Most important of all...Have a Great Time!
