Additional Information

GLAMPING DETAILS
Yirri, a 5 meter diameter tent, has a queen-sized bed and can also sleep an additional two children in single beds. It is quite tight with the extra beds but manageable if the kids aren't yet teenagers. Please enquire if you are interested in bringing along some small ones.

CAMP KITCHEN
There is a comfortable gazebo like camp kitchen which we have developed for tourists to retreat to in case of bad weather. There is a living area with a fireplace and a dining area. These seperate areas allow for different groups of tourists to enjoy the camp kitchen at the same time. The camp kitchen offers another possibility for group gatherings with it’s generous deck, bar and outdoor sitting area. There is a cast iron BBQ on the deck for cooking if the camp fires become too wet.

SHOWERS
There are two showers. Both a glass fronted and are perched on the very edge of the hill so you get the feeling that there is very little between you and the mountains! It is truly a spectacular experience. There is a solar heater on top of the showers which allows for hot showers. We do ask however that you are careful to restrict your usage for the shower to 2 -3 minute showers.

TOILETS
There is a toilet block at the back of Tanjenong camp. The two toilets are composting toilets. Be careful to read the instructions when using the toilet. They operate very like normal toilets but some instructions are necessary.

We moved to Tanjenong from Canada at the beginning of 2006. Tanjenong is the property where Deb grew up. Rob is a Canadian who has lived much of his life in Sydney. When we arrived much of the property had been neglected so there was an incredible amount of work to do. Our background in house renovations and construction helped us develop the Campground and amenities on the property in keeping with both the environment and the comfort of our guests. Our Mabi Dome is made of homemade aircrete blocks and was only the second such structure built in Australia. We have had extensive experience with media and arts industries in Sydney and that design element is very strong in the aesthetics of all the amenities.

Adventures on the Property

These are the exclusive natural wonders and outdoor activities within the property boundaries.

Abercrombie River Walk

This is the longest walk. It is an approximately 5 kilometre walk and can take up to 3 hours depending at the pace walked. This walk winds down through spectacular gum forests to the river floor where you will see the casuarinas trees, an abundance of bird life and the Abercrombie river itself. Parts of the walk can be strenuous, so please be sure to take a lot of water. We have seen platypus in the river so remember to take your binoculars.

Llamaas

As per Deb and Rob's request while you stay at Tanjenong, don't feed the wildlife - including the llama's (no matter how cute they are), it's not good for them.

Magical Sunsets

The first thing you notice is the beautiful valley that sprawls behind the glamping tents and that fresh mountain air.

A Starry Night

The whole experience within itself at Yiri - Tanjenong Camp was quite the adventure, but as soon as the sun fell behind the mountains at dusk, and the night sky started to light up with millions stars - one by one, I rugged myself up in warm clothes (3-4 layers in Winter to be exact), and sat on a bench with my telescope that I had brought, my camera and my tripod for a few hours and soaked up the bright beauty of the Full Moon and the Milky Way that was shining directly over our glamping tent.
