The Bullo experience is distinctively Australian: raw yet refined, vast yet intimate, understated yet luxurious by virtue of access to the land and the genuine hospitality of the hosts.

When you come to Bullo, it’s only natural to spend some pleasurable hours on the namesake river. The Bullo River Gorge is a stunning location that can only be taken in from a boat.

The riverbanks are lined with mangroves, fig trees and pandanus, while the red cliffs tower over the water. Numerous Aboriginal rock art sites have been discovered in the station’s rugged red cliffs and ridge lines, the work of the Miriwoong and Gajirrawoong people who lived on and managed the land.

Bullo’s electric motorboat takes you through the gorge at a relaxed pace so you can decide to drop a line or just take in the scenery. The river winds 80km through the station, offering tidal and freshwater fishing. Whilst renowned for its barramundi, there are plenty of other fish to try your hand at catching. Guides are available to take novices through to professional anglers to some great fishing spots, off the riverbank or from a boat.

“Everyone had genuine and infectious love and appreciation for this land and life on Bullo, from the ringers to the guides and the homestead hosts.”

Lucinda Pitt, Harper's BAZAAR

Learn more about Bullo's history before going behind the scenes to learn more about their pastoral work, with visits to the cattle yard, workshop, machinery shed and more.

While you can’t participate in station activities, Bullo’s guides can get you out and about on The Station in four-wheel drive vehicles, see the cattle in their paddocks and maybe see all the action of the cattle muster.

For the ultimate experience, take flight to explore Bullo River Station’s half a million acres of breathtaking pristine landscape by helicopter. Fly along winding gorges, land near private waterfalls and cool off in swimming holes high up on the escarpment.

See vast grass plains speckled with herds of cattle and wild buffalo and land near remote waterholes to watch the cattle, buffalo and wildlife congregate.

With minimal light pollution, Bullo River Station is the perfect place to explore the stars after a long day of adventure. On the banks of the Bullo River, watch the colours of nature change as the stars come into view. Enjoy an atmospheric casual dinner under a majestic boab tree while your chef cooks up your evening meal over an open fire.
