The kitchen and dining facilities at our accommodation are rustic, cosy, unique and have a rural charm to them. A snug place to park up after a day of exploring.

Mustering sheep off the high top each autumn is one of the highlights of the working year. Traditionally it took gangs of up to six men and their dogs five to six weeks to muster this country, but today with the use of helicopters, the mustering can be completed in days, often with only two musterers.

The family still choose to camp out in the mustering huts after a day’s mustering, cooking over the open fire whilst enjoying a beer, and recalling tales of the high country from days gone by.

Davida and Guy Mead’s ties to this land run deep. As a child, Guy lived on the other side of the lake at Benwevis Station where, in 1922, Archibald Mead built a tent camp on the shores of the lake at Meads Landing. In 1954 it was amalgamated with Hunter Valley Station, and the family left the district, but in 1988 Guy returned to the area with his wife Davida to purchase Di**leburn Station, and they moved in with their teenage daughters, Nicky and Brigitte.

A landscape steeped in rich history.
