The new shearer’s quarters were established on Trilby Station after the original building was destroyed by fire and today’s shearers would be hard pressed to find more comfortable lodgings anywhere.
There are a total of 6 twin share bedrooms in the new building – all with reverse-cycle air-conditioning, electric blankets and beds made. Our three older renovated twin rooms are also twin share with heating and electric blankets but only have ceiling fans for cooling. With a slow combustion wood fire, share bathrooms and laundry, TV – the Shearer’s Bunkhouse is ideal for solo travellers, couples, large groups travelling together and workers/contractors in the area.
The caterer’s size kitchen has all modern conveniences (2 gas stoves, fridge, freezer, coolroom and microwave) and is fully equipped, right down to camp ovens for that traditional outback meal. Outside you’ll find a camp kitchen with commercial gas BBQ, comfy seating and dining options and a TV, gazebo and paved campfire area – ideal to watch the sun setting after another exhilarating day in the outback.
All linen and towels are also provided and guests are welcome to use the pool situated near the homestead and cottages.
Sorry, no pets.
