The turnoff yesterday said “ Arcadia Valley Road” & “ Lake “Nuga Nuga” .. well last night we enjoyed birdwatching around our own private lake and it was amazing 👌
You never know what’s beyond the tree lined roads - you see lots of barrels, some painted different colours and most bearing the name of the property. At Arcadia Valley Escape on “Sunnyholt” Station we were lucky enough to experience some of the magic.
The property lies within a wide, fertile valley bordered with rugged escarpments. Each evening as the sun went down, the light changed and painted the meadows on the slopes below the cliffs a myriad of colours. Mesmerising!
Our rural and quirky site showcased the genius of its creator. Farm accessories had been put to good use. A large gate latch held the loo rolls down, an oil drum supported the toilet seat and giant cable reels became tables just to name a few!
Quirky because of the rustic “Thunderbox” and bush cinema at our camp 😊
Rowan & Maddie, the Station owners have also created one of the best fire pits we have seen on this trip. Surrounding boulders are big enough to keep little children away but big enough for adult bums!
After a leisurely start we took a walk to the old homestead and peeped in the shearer’s cottage (both available for holiday stays). Loved the Shearer’s cottage! Cute as a button and cozy 😍
Walking back to our camp we saw the Large Turtle we saw in the morning. She was putting the finishing touches to covering her eggs and looked exhausted.
Rowan & young Hunter came to visit on their Polaris 4WD with 2 dogs and we watched the turtle together before she walked across the track making her way back to the lake for a well earned rest.
The rest of the afternoon we set to collecting wood for the nights campfire, relaxing, reading and then a walk to the boathouse to watch the sunset.
