CHEYENNE WILDERNESS RETREAT: We were looking for a farm stay within a couple of hours flying time of Sydney where we could do as much or as little as we wanted. Cheyenne Wilderness Retreat on the very edge of the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park proved to be a wonderful venue for just that.
EVANSLEA LUXURY BED & BREAKFAST MUDGEE: Evanslea is a heritage building 1860c which were formally stables, but has now been converted into a very comfortable and stylish home, with that feeling of warmth and relaxation as soon as you are welcomed at the front door, situated only a short walk or drive from the centre of Mudgee.
THE SILVER BREAM MOTEL & HOLIDAY FLATS, MALLACOOTA: Your hosts, George and Marion Trewin, are only too happy to do free transfers to & from the airport, they make you feel totally at home and part of the family. The motel is well within walking distance to boat hire, hotel and the town centre. We stayed there for a long weekend and had a ball, accommodation 1st class, meals the same, I highly recommend this place to stay. I have included some extra photos of the area and what happens at feeding time at the motel. This is George and if Marion can drag him away from playing with the natives at feeding time he also has to work in the motel. They will also let you use the internet or fax to get weather.
PJ's UNDERGROUND B&B WHITE CLIFFS: The meals are something to behold and the people who run it are just the nicest people we met on the trip. Peter and Joanne Pedler are really beautiful people and Joanne is the best cook west of the Great Divide. $115.00 / night double or twin includes breakfast. Bruce Robjohns will do your tours and transfers around White Cliffs for about $25.00 per person. Joanne will liaise with Bruce about times for pick-ups etc. For more details, contact PJ’s Underground B&B, Dugout 72, Turley’s Hill, White Cliffs 2836. Phone: 08-80916626.

ANDAMOOKA DUKES BOTTLEHOUSE MOTEL: I did not know what to expect at Andamooka but after we landed and secured the aircraft two 4x4s turned up and it was Peter and Margot, they own the Motel and had been listening for us to arrive. The accommodation was 3 star and we were given a choice for dinner we could go to the pub or the restaurant next door or eat with them we chose the latter and were we surprised. Entree Boiled eggs and caviar, sushi from Peters family Tuna Boats at Port Lincoln. Mains were Corned Beef Deserts Ice creams all served outside with electric heaters blowing on our feet, and I almost forgot the wines were great as all the girls were talking shorthand by the end of the night. Peter showed us his own private collection of opals and then took us for a tour of the fields. For more details, contact Andamooka Dukes Bottlehouse Motel, 275 Opal Creek Blvd, Andamooka 5722.
