Does the world seem to shine when you’ve had too much w**e? Do the stars make you drool like pasta e fasule?

That’s Amore! Or perhaps just the effects of a La Prova w**e dinner...With our Winemaker’s Table series coming to a close, we’re going out with a badabing, badaboom!

Our third and final dinner of 2026, La Prairie – Italy in the Outback, is a celebration of abundance in the desert, told through food, w**e and famiglia.

Join us & w**emaker Sam Scott of La Prova for an evening of Italian-inspired feasting & expressive w**es served with a little outback flair.

Saturday 31 October
$175 per person, including a multi-course dinner with matched w**es

Welcome Tim to Town! We’re stoked to have SA Helicopters back in Parachilna this holiday period - an incredible opportunity to see the beautifully LUSH Flinders Ranges from the sky.

Find Tim in the bar or give us a call to book in & FLY NOW!

It’s that time of year again - the ONE day of the year we dust off a telly & break with our no-screens way of life at the Prairie… It’s AFL GRAND FINAL DAY! And yes, we’ll be showing all the action live in the Pavilion tomorrow.

Grab a b**r, pick a side and settle in - if we’re going to turn on a television, we may as well make it a little bit of a party.

A quick heads-up, friends - the Prairie will be CLOSED tomorrow, Thursday 10 September, for a private function. We’ll be back open & ready to welcome you from 10am Friday morning.

And yes… we know, AGAIN! We’ve been fortunate to host quite a few private events this year, and we’re incredibly grateful that so many of you have chosen to include the Prairie in your special celebrations, events & outback itineraries. We love sharing this place with you.

We also understand that these closures can interrupt the plans of other travellers hoping to visit us & we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Thank you, as always, for your patience and understanding! See you on the weekend 🍻

We’re hosting a B**R FEST so our trading hours look a little different around here from tomorrow through Monday as we host the inaugural Parachilna Outback B**r Fest

If you’re planning on popping into the Prairie over the next few days, please take a minute to check our changed trading hours.

Friday: Prairie closed from 2pm while we get B**r Fest ready, reopening from 5pm for bar + dinner service for those already in Parachilna.

Saturday: It’s B**R FEST DAY! The Prairie is closed for regular trade, with access for festival ticket holders only. Still want to join us? Grab a ticket through the link in our bio & tickets will be available at the gate.

Sunday: Slow Sunday for ticket holders. The Prairie reopens for regular trade from 10am.

Monday: Closed all day.

Then from 10am Tuesday, it’s business as usual.

Thanks for bearing with us while we do something a little bit crazy and bring a couple hundred people, four breweries, a stack of musicians and one very exciting weekend to Parachilna.

HERE WE GO 🍻

Normal Prairie trading resumes Tuesday 25 August.

Wowee! We're really feeling for our Mundi Mundi friends today - the organisers, businesses, artists & especially those ticket holders whose weekend plans have suddenly changed.

We know only too well that when you choose to put on an event in the bush, Mother Nature has other ideas.

BUT... if you're currently sitting in Broken Hill with a packed car, your boots, your mates & a sudden hole in your weekend plans... Did you know there's a great little road between Broken Hill & the Flinders, via Yunta?

May we humbly suggest a U-turn, point the car west, north-west & head for Parachilna 👀 because if it can’t be Mundi Mundi, an Outback B**r Fest might just do!?

Four SA breweries. Food trucks. Market stalls. Outback games. Live music all day - Shannon Noll at sunset! Saturday is looking like a cracking 18°C & sunny & we're ready for a big weekend.

We'll find you a b**r & welcome you to our party! You've already packed the car - might as well keep the adventure going.

Tickets still available via the link in bio.

HOLY SH*TBOX 🤯

The S**tbox Rally rolled into Parachilna last night & took over the town for a crazy 12 hours or so - plenty of laughs, plenty of character, some seriously “impressive” cars & LOTS of food.

A massive shoutout to our dear friends Rachel Marcus who came north to join the Prairie family & help us pull off the mammoth task of feeding 520 hungry rally goers.

What a crew, what a cause & what a sight to see in Parachilna.

Safe travels, legends - thanks for bringing the chaos!

The S**t Box Rally is coming to Town!

Heads up that we’re closed tomorrow, Saturday August 15, as we prepare to welcome a whopping 520 rally goers to the Prairie.

Normal trading resumes Sunday 16th from 10am - see you then!

A b**r always tastes better at the end of a road trip.

Lucky for you, we’ll have four of South Australia’s best independent breweries ready & waiting to help quench your thirst.

In just over a week, this little outback town will come alive for the very first Parachilna Outback B**r Fest. We’re talking live music, incredible food, market stalls, the big, wide outback sky AND plenty of great b**r!

Round up your mates, point the car north & come see what all the fuss is about.

Tickets available via the link in our bio - don’t wait until it’s too late! We’ll save you a cold one🍺

Well, well, well - here we go again!

After another incredible rain event we’re once again cut off from the rest of the world in every direction. Parachilna has recorded approximately 80mm since Friday, with some of the our regional neighbours receiving as much as 114–150mm!!!

It’s a gentle reminder that no matter how much we plan, prepare or schedule, the outback always has the final say. Out here, nature sets the pace, the country marches to the beat of its own drum, and sometimes the only thing to do is embrace it!

All roads, including the Outback Highway between & Leigh Creek, are currently closed, due to be reassessed tomorrow. We’ll continue to keep guests with upcoming bookings updated as conditions change. If you’re planning to travel, please check road conditions before setting off & remember - it is never safe to drive on closed roads or through flood water.
