Getaways

MOUNT BUNDY STATION GETAWAY

One of the most productive places for scrapbooking can be a retreat weekend.  Getting away with other scrapbookers to a place where someone else does the cooking, no housework and generally do what ever you want.

Mt Bundy  is located approx 110km south of Darwin, is just passed the Adelaide river roadhouses.  Please contact me if you need more details of where the station is situated. Mt Bundy used to be a working cattle station, which has now been turned into the most amazing (on the side of old and rustic) bush retreat.  You can’t beat the pure bush feel and peaceful aura of the place.Accommodation The house we rent is fully air-conditioned with 7 bedrooms and 1 room dorm style with 3 bunks in it and  2 bathrooms. The facilities can accommodate up to 20 people.  All beds are made and waiting for you, complete with fresh linens and blankets.  Towels are supplied, but you will need one of your own if going swimming. The cropping room is a separate air-conditioned building that we can spread out and have the best weekend ever.  Most tables are set with two people on it except the huge(I mean huge) middle table that fits 6.There are prizes during the day, including a great prize for the winner of our famous snakes and ladder game. Need to make your own way there any time from 4pm Friday night and leave anytime you like.  Need to leave by 5pm Sunday.

Cropping Room
Around the clock cropping space available to you in our large cropping room.  When you arrive at Mt Bundy on Friday, set up at your allocated station, and you don’t have to pack up until you go home on Sunday!  You will be able to come and go as you please to eat the great food, take a nap or a nature walk – whatever you choose!!  Are you one of those late night croppers? Don’t worry, the cropping room will be open all weekend and you don’t have to worry about your supplies while you sleep.  There is a Tool Centre and miscellaneous bits and pieces that you can use as you wish!!

 

Food

Friday night dinner is not included but you can bring with you or grab a bite at the Adelaide river roadhouses – most get a hamburger as it is a valuable waste of scrapping time not to wolf down a burger and then get scrappin.    Supper is usually my famous artichoke dip (which is a meal in itself and nibbles) 

 Breakfasts - cereals including porridge, toast, juice &   - eggs and bacon are also available to cook yourself if you would like.  Breakfast is help yourself as most people scrap till all hours of the night so not a schedule time for breakfast.  I will cook and serve out lunch & Dinner . 

Lunches- saturday is normally lasanga and salad and then Sunday is Cold meat and salad.  

Dinner- Roast dinner 

Nibbles all in-between.

If you have any allergies let me know.  Alot of people bring lollies so if you don’t want to be left out, bring your extra little nibbles, and anything else you cant live without.

 

Essentials

Torch (for late night trips between rooms and scrappin room)

lollies

PJ’s (as the night wears on we all end up scrappin in our PJ’s – not of course necessary but lots of fun and comfortable.  

Photos (yes it has happened in the past – DON’T Forget them or you will be helping me scrap mine)
