Property info

For an authentic outback experience, roll up the swags and head to Inverary Homestead off the Bruxner Highway, in the Northern Tablelands. The homestead is almost as spacious as the big skies and sweeping plains. It’s a perfect country break for a large gathering of friends and family. The Aboriginal phrase ‘Dthinna Dthinnawan’ (pronounced Dinna Dinna-wah) means ‘place for emu footprint’ and that’s just what you’re likely to see. The spinifex plains and woodlands are full of wildlife, and you might catch a glimpse of one of the endangered species this unique conservation area protects. Keep your eye out for black-striped wallabies, zig-zag velvet geckos and glossy black-cockatoos. After a day of walking, mountain biking or 4WD touring, gather on the old verandah for a meal, just like the nearby kangaroos.

Explore the remote Dthinna Dthinnawan National Park via mountain bike, bushwalking or 4WD touring. Learn about the park’s Aboriginal cultural heritage and local wildlife. Dthinna Dthinnawan National Park gives you a feeling of having stepped back in time. It’s a place that’s so peaceful, it’s entirely likely you won’t see any other people here at all. In fact, the park is only open to the public when they’re staying at the heritage Inverary Homestead. The flat or gently undulating landscape of Dthinna Dthinnawan is dominated by wide-open woodland dotted with scattered hills and billabongs. Take your time and enjoy exploring the tranquil surroundings, whether it be travelling across the wide-open plains, which are full of wildlife, in a 4WD, or following some of the rugged trails by foot or on a mountain bike. Birdwatching, spotlighting, walking, and 4WD touring are all popular pastimes in this area. Travelling the long straight dirt roads enveloped by trees, you’re likely to encounter kangaroos darting across the road and sometimes feeding with emus on the open plains during dawn and dusk. The park also provides habitat for a number of threatened bat species.
