Bullo River homestead is located on a half million acres of wilderness in the Northern Territory. The front gate is 50 kms from the homestead and the nearest neighbour 2 hours away! So remote is this region that there are waterholes and aboriginal art galleries that have remained unseen and untouched for hundreds of years.

Marlee Ranacher, grew up on the station and she and her husband now manage the property and its 8,000 head of cattle. The mood here is very relaxed – you can choose to explore this vast area or join in the daily operations of a genuine working cattle station.

There are 12 guest rooms each with en suite bathroom, overhead fan, air conditioning and double doors opening to the verandah. The main homestead is spacious and well designed with enough space for guests to have privacy or join in with others. An excellent dinner is served in the homestead dining room or you are welcome to join the station hands and family in the kitchen for a typical station evening. There is a swimming pool.

Activities include exploring the crocodile infested Bullo River where hidden gorges reflect deep red colours and reveal ancient aboriginal rock paintings and where the barramundi fishing is tops. Take a helicopter flight to a remote waterfall for a romantic picnic lunch or if you are feeling adventurous take a ‘swag’ (traditional bed roll) a bottle of wine and a hamper and spend a night under the stars. Station activities include mustering and horse riding and throughout you may see dingoes, kangaroos, wallabies, feral pig and buffalo.

Fly to Port Keats with Franz and spend time with the aboriginal community there; go on a bush tucker walk, catch mud-crabs in the tidal flats (take them home for dinner) or buy locally produced artwork. Franz is a fully qualified and licensed chopper pilot and can take guests elsewhere in the region, notably over Lake Argyle and the Bungle Bungles.
