The Tom Quilty 160km Endurance ride in 1 day used to pass through this property. The Wheeny Creek area was originally settled by ‘Ticket of Leave’ convicts who were provided with 40 acre starvation blocks. The convicts’ descendents lasted until the beginning of the 20th Century when flooding and a meagre existence from farming and cattle raising forced them from the valley. Some of their descendents still come to our property to fish and camp. The property is set inside the Wollemi National Park, the home of the ancient Wollemi Pine, whose whereabouts are secret. Located 23 kilometres northeast of Windsor and approximately 1.5 hours from the centre of the city. Life was tough for the people in the Wheeny Creek area, who were totally self sufficient. Like the early inhabitants the property is self sufficient. Solar electricity powers the property which has its own water reticulation system. Each cabin has a wood-burning heater and gas stove and hot water. The property is surrounded by the Wollemi National park. Everything is designed for minimal intrusion in this pristine area of the world.
