On Goodwood Station
Goodwood Station has an abundance of space for bushwalking and birdwatching and miles of rugged landscapes just waiting to be photographed or painted. Star gazing in a clear unpolluted sky is a must.
We also have plenty of beautiful spots to do absolutely nothing…




- Birdwatching – Goodwood has a wonderful array of birdlife including birds of prey, pigeons, finches, parrots and of course the good old emu. Anytime of year is a great time for birdwatching, although springtime is wonderful with much of the vegetation in flower as well.
- Bushwalkng – Goodwood has two main graded tracks which are great for walkers. The northern track takes in rocky escarpments, creeks, waterholes and lots of good ‘goat’ country. The southern track runs through to the Paroo Darling National Park and is more undulating. Big Creeks and big outback views are a must to see.
- Star Gazing – The Australian night sky views are stunning. Explaining the beauty of the stars at night, literally twinkling like diamonds is sometimes so hard. There is no external light to contaminate the black velvet night and it’s tray of flashing scattered diamonds. The constellations are clearly visible and hours can drift by as you and your friends/children track your favourites. Just settle into your deck chairs or camp beds and lose yourself in this amazing picture show. This is not just a travel view but a travel experience.
- Relaxing – In and around the Shearers quarters out in the winter sun or under the enclosed BBQ area. Only a short walk to Woolshed Waterhole or Agnes Blanche’s Grave.

On the Paroo-Darling National Park

At Paroo-Darling National Park, you’ll find the Paroo Overflow, the only unregulated river in the Murray-Darling Basin and an area of outstanding conservation value and natural beauty.
Spend a couple of days exploring the park – paddle or walk around Peery Lake, you’ll be amazed by the birdlife – 60,000 birds were recorded in a recent survey. There are heaps of informal spots for a picnic – choose your own scenic place.
With its frequent floods, this area is also the traditional home to the Ngiyeempaa and Paakantyi people and since European settlement has been an important pastoral area. The area’s rich history is waiting for you to discover.
