2.Considering the remoteness of the location and the items you have ticked above. How much would you consider a reasonable cost, per night, for a site for up to 4 people (1 trailer 4 people, 2 trailers with 2 per van) if there was nobody else anywhere near you? (Qu 3 addresses extra costs for more people)

$60- $80/night

$80-100/night

$100-120/night

3.If you were travelling in a larger group how much would you consider a reasonable cost per extra person over the initial 4.

$15/head

$20/head

$30/head

$40/head

More than $40/head

4.You aren't into camping remotely but would like to experience a large outback station, its wildlife and experiences. Please tick what accommodation you would consider to stay here. Note these are all near the homestead which is not on the river or water hole. Multiple answers allowed.

I have my own van/tent but would rather stay where I can access shared kitchen, common room and bathroom facilities - no power

I have my own van/tent but would rather stay where I can access shared kitchen, common room and bathroom facilities - with power and water please!

Nice basic clean rooms in the ringers quarters with shared bathroom, common room and kitchen facilities complete with tea and coffee making facilities.

My own comfy room with an ensuite, tea and coffee making facilities and fridge with access to the shared kitchen and common room a short distance away.

Fully self contained accomodation (The old Governess quarters)

5.We appreciate not everyone wants to cook for themselves every day. What meal options would you like to see if you were staying in the accommodation near the homestead. You can tick more than one.

Cereal, bread, milk with tea and coffee making facilities in the common room.

A nice cooked breakfast before my big day out

A wholesome packed lunch as I will be out all day

A home cooked two course dinner

I'd like 3 meals a day provided please

2 meals - lunch and dinner

2 meals - breakfast and lunch

6.With so many things to do and see are there any extra "Add ons" you would consider? Tick as many as you want.

Day out on the farm. This is a working property and what better way to see some of the harder to get to areas than a day out with the owner checking the cattle, bore pumps, fences, or putting out cattle licks. This allows you to see a variety of landscape, birds and wildlife, geology as well as asking the owner anything you want about living out here and running a 500,000 acre cattle property. Lunch included - usually by a lovely waterhole with time to relax, with plenty of opportunities to take photos on the way.

Self guided tour (map and instructions provided) to some parts of the property - always with options to stop at a river or water hole for lunch. Will require a four wheel drive and, depending on areas, ability to do self recoveries.

Helping feed the poddy calves and chickens.

Day trip to nearby (118km to the north) Leichardt Falls

Night time wildlife spotting tour

When our professional photographer is in town -photography tours of the property and district (especially for birds)

Helicopter scenic flights (dependant on whether the pilot is in town or out mustering)

Fossil fossicking

Other (please specify).
Is there something you would like to do that we haven't thought of?

7.One of our dreams is to set up a Glamping Tiny Home at two of the waterholes. As well as a wonderfully appointed off-grid self contained cabin, with the full list of items we asked about in question 1 (minus the long drop, you'll have your own beautiful indoor toilet)- what else would you like or be expecting?

welcome food basket

welcome bottle of wine

not to see anyone else at all

An ATV to drive around and explore locally with

local native botanical bathroom products (ecological sustainable of course!)

high end decor , matching colours, plush furnishings, I want to put this trip on insta!

Hammock

How much would you expect to pay per night to stay in this little piece of luxury at a beautiful waterhole?

8.Our Glamping dream is for a cabin with a queen size bed only. If you were to consider this option would this be perfect for you or do you want extra space for a child/children?

Perfect - I want to get away on my own

Perfect - this is my dream trip away with only one other person

I want my children to have this experience as well

9.Bird watching/wildlife
As you can imagine the amount of wildlife in almost 500,000 acres of relatively untouched terrain is staggering, as well as varied. It is a bird watchers paradise. The Caprenterian Grasswren (listed as a vulnerable species) resides here. There are a variety of macrapods from the Northern Nail-tailed Wallaby to the big red roos to keep you busy as well.
If your primary reason to visit here was to go bird spotting which of the following would make the visit more appealing.

Bird hides positioned strategically around waterholes and locations where lesser seen birds eg Grasswrens, are known to frequent.

Bird spotting tour for a day

Bird spotting tour half day

Bird list with a map of key locations so you can explore on your own

Guided access to other neighbouring properties with other bird species

You don't care - you are just happy to be out in nature and see what you can see
