Ready to trade the city lights for big outback skies and some real country hospitality? Welcome to Carinya Station!
If you’re planning an adventure to the famous opal-mining town of Lightning Ridge, this beautiful 6600-acre family farm is one stop you absolutely cannot miss. Hosted by Joe, Jacinda, and their kids, they’ll welcome you like old mates the second you pull up.
Carinya isn’t a manicured resort with polished bathrooms; it's raw, real, and shaped by the outback, making it the perfect place to ditch the electronics and connect with the land and each other.
Whether you're rolling out a swag at one of their 'leave-no-trace' bush campsites or enjoying a bit of rustic luxury in their gorgeous glamping tents, it caters to all travellers. Spend your days feeding orphaned lambs, exploring the paddocks on a farm tour, or taking a short trip down the road to soak in the famous warm artesian springs. Then, wind down next to a crackling campfire under a massive ceiling of stars.
So, if you're craving wide-open spaces, authentic station life, and outback memories that will stick with you forever, it’s time to pack the car and head to the Ridge. Carinya is waiting for you!

Who says an outback road trip has to be isolated? Driving the iconic Darling River Run isn’t just about the incredible 1,000km scenery, it’s all about the legendary people you meet along the way.
When you travel with Outback Beds, you're tracking from Walgett down to Wentworth and pulling up stumps at real, working stations. You’ll swap stories over a campfire with the owners at Trilby Station in Louth, wake up to river views at Bindara Station, and maybe even finish your trip with luxury glamping on a working almond farm at Outback Almonds.
Out here, you arrive as a stranger and leave as a mate. Ready to meet the characters of the outback? Tap the link in our bio to grab our free touring map!
