Australia's Golden Outback 2024 Holiday Planner

grid, without any streetlights, all you have to do is step away from the buildings and the night sky comes alive. About 100 metres away from the homestead, there are wooden benches positioned next to a vintage steam engine, which station owner Frances Pollock suggests as the spot to sit with a glass of wine, while allowing the desert stillness to welcome an otherworldly expanse of stars. “Often people talk about how small they feel, when they sit out there and consider their place in the universe. Some people find that a terrifying thought, but for so many, it’s a really humbling feeling,” says Frances. “We’re all little specks of stardust that are going to come and go from this world.” The station has three accommodation options, offering various styles of stays to experience the sky — a hosted and catered experience at the National Trust-listed central homestead, self-contained stays in rammed earth guest houses, and nature based camping based 16 kilometres away on the banks of the Murchison River.
