'Brooloo Park' Eco Retreat & Equine Resort is a working
horse and cattle property situated on the banks of the Coonoon Gibber Creek in
the scenic Mary Valley, tucked away only 35 minutes from
the coast, in the Noosa Hinterland. It is a 270 acre working property that was
converted from dairy to beef cattle more than 15 years ago by the original
owner. Vince and Brenda Carige, passionate visionaries purchased this beautiful
property which had been neglected due to the old age of the owner and proceeded
to develop their dream of a Sustainable Eco & Agri-Tourism business.
It is host to a range of "Real Aussie Bush and Outback
Experiences" including Natural Horsemanship riding, natural horsemanship
demonstrations (showing people a better way to work with horses), pony riding/
lessons, trail rides, mustering, whip cracking, lassoing training, working
cattle dog demo's, camp oven cooking to name a few. Having purchased and ‘started’ Spitfire a
Clydesdale they will be further extending the experience with ‘Bronco Branding’
(a traditional Aussie art of cattle branding), horse ploughing and Dray Hay
Rides. Their goal is to keep a piece of the Australian Bush and Outback
Heritage alive for future generations to experience.
They also offer the
opportunity for people to stay over with their own horses and experience the
amazing horse trails throughout the Mary Valley Forests.

They also offer a variety of courses to improve, rebuild,
relax and recharge but the one I found most intriguing is the McLeod's
Daughters Experience- 2 or 3 day get-a-way experience for women. A chance to be a real cowgirl!
As a real point of difference they offer ‘Exclusive Eco
Camping Stays’ and I mean these sites are completely secluded with no other
campers in sight and all 7 sites are positioned alongside their creeks spread
over 270 acres. With their motto of
"Leave No Trace" these sites remain in natural pristine Australian
bush park like state.
If you aren’t into
camping they can also accommodate you in Bed & Breakfast Farm-stays from ‘Ringers
Quarters’, ‘Swaggy’s Room’ to the ‘Original 100 year old Homestead’. ‘Brooloo Park’
is 5 minutes east of the small country town called Imbil and is on the steps of
the great Borumba Dam for water skiing, kayaking, canoeing & other water
sports. It’s within easy reach of Noosa on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

To sum Brooloo Park up I would definitely coin the phrase, "The
Bush behind the Beach" as it’s on Noosa's doorstep
being less than 40 mins west of Noosa Heads, Sunshine
Coast, only an 1.5 hours north of
Brisbane & 1.5 hours of Hervey
Bay.
