Your Outback Adventure Awaits
๐Ÿ“Cobar, Outback NSW Step into the experience of Meralda with the Barton Family, a family-run gem nestled in the heart of the outback town of Cobar. Get ready to be whisked away on a red dirt adventure and let the bush work its magic on you with her rugged beauty, where scrumptious meals and

amazing sunsets are just the beginning. Picture feasts by the fire, admiring breathtaking views, watch our picturesque sunsets while you relax in the sunset baths, get artsy with creative workshops, or find zen moments with wellbeing sessions or simply immerse yourself and unwind in our peaceful bush surroundings. We take great pride in providing unique experiences for all guests to transform your stay into a memorable adventure. Our accommodations and offerings are all about that rustic, back-to-nature, eco-off-the-grid vibe. If you're dreaming of a caravan park with no dirt, concrete slabs and lush green lawns (yes, some folks imagine an outback town with no natural water source magically sprouting grass), then we might not be the perfect match for you. If your a guest ready to jump into our unique setup. Our charm lies in simplicity; we're not chasing after 5-star luxury, but our service? Oh yeah, we've got that 5-star sparkle! Come on over and let us introduce you to the magic of our backyard at Meralda.

โ€‹Note: This is a farm located in the outback. Please expect:
โ€‹Dust, amazing sunsets, flies, fabulous hospitality, burrs, quirky animals, unreliable weather forecasts, tranquility and ambience.

Thereโ€™s something incredibly special about being part of a group that believes so deeply in the Outback not just as a place to visit, but as a part of our amazing country to experience, connect with and remember.

Outback Beds brings together stays that are different. Places with character, history and heart. Places owned and run by people who are genuinely passionate about where they live and proud to share it with those who make the journey.

Behind every stay is a local story. An owner who cares. A warm welcome. And a shared commitment to giving travellers the best possible experience of the Australian Outback.

Iโ€™m so proud to be part of a group that continues to invest in regional Australia, support passionate local operators and help people discover just how extraordinary the Outback really is.

Because the best journeys arenโ€™t only about where you go, theyโ€™re about the people you meet, the stories you hear and the places that stay with you long after youโ€™ve left.

Proud to be part of Outback Beds & SOOOO Proud to share the Outback. โค๏ธ

STATION TO TABLE

Wellโ€ฆ itโ€™s finally in the pipeline ๐Ÿ‘€

When you feed people and they ask for the recipe before theyโ€™ve even left & the emails keep coming long after theyโ€™ve gone, you know the food must be hitting the spot โค๏ธ

So after years of sharing recipes one by one, Iโ€™m finally putting them all in one placeโ€ฆ

STATION TO TABLE

8 reasons NOT to stay with us!

Sounds awful, doesnโ€™t it? ๐Ÿ˜‰

03/09/2026

Ever seen a sky so clear you can see the edge of the universe?

When you leave the highway behind and head deep into Outback NSW, the world opens up in ways you never expected. The air is crisper, the sunsets stretch for miles, and the history runs deep into the red dirt.

Our network of unique outback accommodation and unique station stays invites you to step off the beaten track and experience a slower, more meaningful rhythm of life.

It's about disconnecting from the screens and reconnecting with the land.

Our guests are pretty bloody amazing! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Our guests at โ€œSh*t Creekโ€ knew we had footy on, so off they went to watch and support our Under 18s and even grabbed themselves some merch while they were there to support the club.

How good is that?!

Absolute legends. ๐Ÿ‰

๐Ÿ“ Nymagee Four Corners Farm Stay

Looking for somewhere to stay a little longer on the Copper Route?

Just 10km from Nymagee on a sealed road, Four Corners Farm Stay offers a genuine taste of Outback life on a 23,000-acre working sheep station.

Hosted by Ken, Anita and Katelyn Burcher, Four Corners is the sort of place where you can slow down and enjoy the bush - spectacular sunsets, huge star-filled skies, campfires, bushwalking and the everyday workings of a real Western NSW property.

There are cabins and budget accommodation, powered and unpowered caravan sites, and camping, making it a great base for spending a night or two exploring Nymagee and the surrounding country.

And while youโ€™re in Nymagee, make sure you call into the historic Metropolitan Hotel for a cold drink, a meal and a yarn with the locals before continuing your journey along the Pub Routeโ€™s Copper Route.

๐Ÿบ Stay local. Explore the old mining country. Support the little communities along the way.

The Long Drive for Drought crew are back on the road again this year, clocking up the kilometres for a cause that means so much to so many. ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐ŸŒพ

We hosted these legends on last years run, and what a genuinely great bunch they are. Good people, big hearts, and a real passion for backing farmers and rural communities when they need it most.

Thereโ€™s something pretty special about mates getting together, hitting the road and doing their bit for the bush.

If you see them along the way, give โ€™em a wave, have a yarn, throw your support behind them and help make every kilometre count.

Safe travels and keep doing what you do.

This time tomorrow weโ€™ll be kicking of LDFD26 in Kenilworth. The next ten days will be full of fun, adventure, laughs, tears and great memories.

We are travelling through some incredible country, on backroads youโ€™d never dream of going down, and visiting some of the most iconic pubs, bakeries
and little towns along the way.

As always, the greatest privilege will be visiting farmers, who have needed a hand in the past, where they are brave enough to share their stories with us.

Of course of all this wouldnโ€™t happen without the amazing sponsors, incredibly generous participants and the wonderful communities we visit.

See you on the road.
