mozzasbigtrip: Mt Bundy Station

We are camped up at Mt. Bundy Station on the Adelaide River approx. 150km from Darwin heading back down the Stuart Highway. This is a working cattle farm with a sideline in camping. Booked in for 3 nights, staying 5.!!!! We have horses, buffaloes, bulls, cows, kangas etc in the paddock outside our window. Just behind us is a horse yard/stable, where you can take a horse ride in the morning around the station. Each day 3 of the horses and various farm dogs wander around thru the caravans, there are guinea fowl and half a dozen pea hens and a couple of peacocks that also just wander thru, especially love us at happy hour. We have been hand feeding them all, the large tree that you see spreading its branches over our campsite is also the birds nesting spot for the night. Every night at approx. 6.30 they all fly up into the branches, settle down and stay all night. Its fun to watch them jostle for position, but the next morning the car and the annexes are covered in poo!!!!. Perhaps if we didnt give them happy hour nibbles, they may be better behaved. The river runs thru the property and whilst there is a big croc in the water he is rarely seen. The boys went down to fish but just got lots of snags. Could see the fish, just couldnt catch them. Very relaxing place to stay, lush green grass, lots of water, lots of space to camp up. In the evenings you can watch the kangas come across the farm to nibble on the green grass. The sunsets are beautiful too. This weekend is a long weekend and it is going to get packed here. We have power and water on this site but will have to move down onto the river banks tomorrow as our camp spot has been booked and we have just decided to stay longer.
