Location
|
 |
Cheyenne
Wilderness Retreat is perched on the edge of the Oxley Wild Rivers
National Park and Wilderness Area. This is a unique part of
Australia's bush, wild, rugged...magic ... and safe for all the
family and your pets. |
 |
Walcha is
situated 447 kms from Sydney via Gloucester and the Thunderbolts
Way. This scenic road is now fully tar sealed and winds through
the rolling hills around Gloucester then quickly climbs into the
cool mountains and through spectacular forests. There are many
delightful picnic spots along this route and best of all, it
actually cuts quite a lot of distance off your trip to Armidale or
even Brisbane. |

Cheyenne,
is a working 760 hectares (2000 acres) cattle property nestled
among the hills and gorges of the magnificent Oxley Wild Rivers
National Park and Wilderness Area. The property was originally
established by Burgh's grandfather early last century and is a
fine example of an Australian high country grazing property |
