Set on a 500,000-acre working cattle property in a remote corner of the East Kimberley, Bullo River Station offers an authentic window into life in the outback in combination with a collection of unforgettable Australian adventures.
Made famous by Sara Henderson (Australian cattle farmer and author: From Strength to Strength), Bullo River Station continues to operate as a working cattle station, whilst also providing a unique luxury outback travel experience balanced with a genuine commitment to environmental and indigenous conservation.
Cruise the Bullo River Gorge, fish for barramundi and swim in secluded waterholes. Join in the station activities or head out wildlife spotting and birdwatching. Tour these ancient landscapes (dotted with Aboriginal rock art and insta-worthy vistas) on foot or on horseback, by 4WD, heli or quad bike.
Visit Bullo River Station between May and September (selected dates) for the added opportunity to witness outback cattle mustering in action. At Bullo River homestead, enjoy lazy afternoons by the pool, in a hammock between the palms or sharing a sundowner with your fellow guests looking out over the outback plains.
The original Bullo River Station homestead houses twelve air-conditioned and en-suite guest rooms (beautifully styled by Australian interior stylist, Sibella Court). Enjoy wholesome home-cooked breakfast on the homestead veranda, picnic lunches in the shade of a boab tree and shared dinners under the stars around a campfire.

A wildlife lovers delight, Bullo River Station’s waterholes and billabongs attract an impressive collection of resident and migratory birds, and the property which has a unique partnership with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, is home to a diverse range of rare and endangered Australian wildlife.

"My husband and I just returned from an amazing 3-week trip to New Zealand, thanks in large part to the tireless help of Sara and Sarah. They listened closely to the way we like to travel, our interests, and what we were hoping for on this special trip to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, and curated an itinerary that ended up exceeding all of our expectations. It is clear to us, as we reflect back on our trip, what a benefit it was to use a travel agency that was actually located in New Zealand. Sara and Sarah were very easy to work with, and always responsive to emails, questions, and changes. And it turns out they also keep track of how everything is going while you are on your trip, checking with drivers and accommodations to make sure everything is perfect."

"Thank you ALL for the most wonderful Australia/New Zealand adventure.
Planning a 7 week trip is daunting enough without the complications of COVID cancellations, rebookings, and closures. Yet every connection, every transportation detail, every accommodation, every meal, everything was flawless.
We can't thank Southern Crossings enough for making this trip all, and more, than we had imagined. You allowed us to see the best of your countries: the people, the beauty, the culture. Five stars, a blue ribbon, and a gold medal to everyone at Southern Crossings!"

"I had a call with (my client) last night and she was telling me all about their FABULOUS trip!! … They loved everything … I made a few notes to share with you as I always feel that compliments are very important… the same goes for constructive criticism, but they were thrilled with EVERYTHING! … Once again, I truly appreciate all your hard work and thank you for planning a trip that made my client SO HAPPY!!"
Just completed three weeks of travel in Australia and New Zealand with our 5 kids. Southern Crossing took great care of us by selecting properties that were worth visiting, finding local guides to help us see the sites, and recommending fine dining establishments that were superb.
Well done. We would highly recommend their team.
