Situated just 2kms (bitumen access) off the Flinder's Highway between Julia Creek and Richmond, our budget farm stay is a great way to spend a few days relaxing or as a quick stop over on the long trip between Mt Isa and Townsville. Guests can stay in the self contained studio accommodation or choose to camp among the large trees or on open grassed areas. Meals can be provided as part of a 'home stay' arrangement and drinks, food and emergency supplies are available from our small store. Sun downers are a feature of the tourist season which runs from April to October. Over this time we have twice weekly BBQ and games nights and Sunday Roasts are legendary. Our little bit of the outback is an artists and birdwatchers paradise. With an an art gallery on site, we are home to the famous 3.5 metre Brolga sculptures and art activities for family fun can be arranged. Other points of interest are the local CWA hall, our 104 year old post Office and an artesian bore originally sunk to service steam trains passing through to Darwin. We are part of a circle route connecting Richmond to Julia creek via the Punchbowl waterhole. We are also located just 15 kms South of a Flinders River crossing and 5 min's to small creeks. Optional birdwatching and redclaw fishing experiences can be arranged. Children love taking part in the the dawn or dusk feeding of our farm animals and are thrilled to meet Sebastian goat who is our friendly mascot. He is very welcoming and seems to enjoy turning up for photos. The open night skies at Corella Creek offer an opportunity to star gaze or spot the different species of owls and other nocturnal animals that live within the grounds and close by.
