Well-marked, self-drive routes offer visitors the opportunity to explore on their own or you can take advantage of the sunset tours. The station is fortunate to have a large variety of bird life who flock to the windmills and waterholes at dawn and dusk. The placement of bird hides makes it easy to observe them in their natural habitat. Stay in the homestead, one of the guest houses or even roll out a swag in your own secluded campsite. Regardless of how you stay, you will never forget this spectacular piece of red dirt. Best time to visit: The cooler months. Between December and February the temperature often exceeds 40°C.
Wildflower season is usually best between late August to late September (seasons are affected by the amount of rainfall and how hot it gets). For more information or to book: www.wooleen.com.au
