Telco (on a mixed grazing property set at the northern end of the Murray / Darling Basin) offers a country experience for the whole family. 45 minutes north of Roma, it is accessible by road, bus, plane or train (to Roma), or use the property's own airstrip.
Accommodation is comfortable in the spacious downstairs area of a large Queenslander. There's an open dining area and lounge, equipped with books, games, television, video and DVD; a bathroom with shower and bath; and a kitchen should you prefer to self cater. The alternative is to join the family upstairs for meals- breakfast on the deck, afternoon tea on the verandah, home-cooked dinners and yarn about the day in the country.
Depending on the season, you may wish to be involved with feeding cattle, goats or deer; see claving or kidding and mustering or branding.. Perhaps you may prefer to simply relax and enjoy the peace and serenity as you go bush walking, swim in the dam or pool, play tennis or fish.
Children will enjoy the variety of wildlife: tours of the property may sight goannas, echidnas, bustards, perhaps a koala, but certainly kangaroos and wallabies. Near the house they can make friends with the resident geese, peacocks, chooks, ducks, guinea fowl, pig, dogs, cats, cockatoo, alpacas and often bottle feed a joey and baby goats.
Spotlighting around the homestead reveals possums and bettongs under an amazing star-filled sky. Use the telescope to further your knowledge of stars you can see without the interruption of street lights.
