The Oldest Private Ballroom in the Outback
In 1927 an impressive Outback ballroom was built at Camden Park Station of Jarrah wood from Western Australia and featuring an exquisite chandelier. The ballroom has hosted many dignitaries over the years including the Queen.
“The Walker’s were both very informative, charming, and taught us about their operation. The sunset from their “oasis” in the outback is one not to be missed! The meal was superb and the company was great. Overall a good experience”
“Camden Park Station is about 10 K’s out of Longreach and at the moment is looks nice and green because of all the rain. The furniture in the homestead is well worth seeing and getting the history behind it.”
