Bullo River Station

20/10/2025

Following her recent visit to Bullo as our first artist-in-residence, New Zealand-based textile artist Meg Gallagher has created an exclusive, one-off piece of art which is currently up for bidding via charity auction, with 100% of proceeds supporting the vitally important work of our long standing conservation partner, Australian Wildlife Conservancy.

Meg’s piece, titled ‘The Rhythm’, is a tribute to the intricate ecosystem of Bullo’s lands – the vast sky, the winding river, the red earth, and the lush greens, which all exist in a delicate balance, each feeding the other to create a circulatory system that pulses in a rhythm. Honouring that complexity, Meg intertwined into the piece denim jean offcuts worn by our Ringers and cotton dyed by hand using red ochre from our land.
This is a rare opportunity to bring a very special piece of Bullo home, whilst making a difference. Bidding is now open and closes on 24 November 2025.

See link below to participate in this art charity auction, and to support the work of Australian Wildlife Conservancy.

We’re delighted to share Bullo River Station’s inaugural Sustainability Report – a reflection of our ongoing commitment to conservation and sustainable pastoral operations in the heart of the Northern Territory. ⁠

Our vision for Bullo River Station has always been for pastoral and conservation activities to work together – where a profitable food-producing business co-exists with an utterly thriving natural environment, representing a profound change in the pastoral business model and approach.⁠

This report delves into our efforts in biodiversity conservation, water management, and sustainable agriculture, while also acknowledging the areas where we are striving to improve and innovate. We invite you to explore the report and gain insight into the work we are undertaking to preserve and protect this extraordinary landscape. ⁠

We’re delighted to be featured in Condé Nast Traveller’s ‘The Gold List 2025 – The Best Hotels and Resorts in the World’ among an incredible list of global hotels. This annual compendium highlights properties not just for their beauty, comfort, or impeccable service, but for the emotional connections they inspire.⁠

Chloe Sachdev says: “Bullo River Station is a snapshot of Australia’s hard yakka life: a sepia-toned outback fantasy where guests, dressed in boots and wide-brim hats, swoop in on helicopters… Days are spent getting dusty by visiting waterholes, angling for barramundi, and saying hello to the 2,000 or so floppy-eared Brahman cows. Up above, kookaburras and cockatoos flock, and beady-eyed crocodiles float through the muddy rivers. Ancient Aboriginal rock art depicting a land before time is etched into rugged red cliffs and ridge lines. The landscape of waterfalls, craggy escarpments, and gushing rivers swallows you whole.”⁠ - Condé Nast Traveler

A rare opening has become available across the Easter long weekend – April 7th – 10th 2023.

April at Bullo is a spectacular time – at the end of the wet season, the waterholes are full, and the majestic waterfalls are flowing freely. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, perfect for exploring, be it on foot, four-wheel drive, or helicopter. Drop a line in the Bullo River at dawn before visiting the cattle yards to meet our resident Brahmans, Shorthorn and Wagyu. Enjoy a delicious lunch, cooked on a cast iron campfire alongside Marlee’s Bath before visiting ancient Aboriginal rock art sites, or head out in the helicopter to explore the winding gorges and waterfalls, with a stop at a remote swimming hole for a cooling dip.
