We visited 6 years ago and said we need to come back. Finally came back for a week. It is fantastic. We covered heaps of the station and went out to the coast for a few nights. Guess what even a bit of phone signal out there. Amazing. The best thing is, this family give you heaps of information but let you go and explore yourselves. Definitely a cheap week if you are just camping. You get a good shower and so much area to have fun in. Nanny's retreat still special. But did all the other water holes too. Well done Walker family we will be back one day.

A great spot, there is something for everyone, you can do as little as your like or as much as you like. You can camp in the camp grounds or head out anywhere on the property either bush or coastal. Don't expect the royal treatment though, make sure your self sufficient and come fully prepared i.e food, supplies. Remember where you are, you are very remote, the property provides a great service but there are limitations of course. A few people in our travels complained how expensive Lorella is, well I beg to differ. It is as expensive as you want it to be. If you need to complain about the cost of food, wine and ice-cream for the kids, you don't have to pay for it, you can always drink your own and eat your own. Personally I thought the prices were great, no more expensive than anywhere else you would go in these sorts of locations. I am keen to pay $8 a glass for wine as opposed to the $15 you pay in a restaurant. Dinner was around $30 for basic steak and veg meal, great option if you don't want to cook and the meals were fine. Don't expect anything 5 star, the meals are no different to what you make at home. I would suggest going after the wet when the creeks and water holes are running to take full advantage of this stunning place. It is fabulous with or without the waterholes running though. Great way to test out your 4WDing skills, lots of different types of terrain to keep you interested. Not sure just how much the young lads at the bar knew about cattle, but there stories were interesting and gave us a good laugh. Lovely young men none the less. The fuels expensive, but it beats running out if you intend of driving around the property everyday. (nice little security blanket). In short, great place !! Put it on the bucket list....

There was 4 groups in are convoy! We all had campers and young children. We are all from Darwin. We travelled by 4WD total 1800 kilometres. Twelve hundred kilometres return trip from Darwin on the Stuart highway and Carpenteria highway. Followed by four hundred kilometres return trip on rugged, dirt on the very dusty Savannah Way highway, Chicken run road , Rosie Track roads... the other tracks names... dunno!! We only had 10 days I would have liked have had another 3 weeks! We took 2 days to travel to and from the station as we had young children with us. We spent the first night in the camp grounds at Lorella springs before heading out the next day to find a base camp for the final 6 days. We did day trips from our base camp. Nanny's retreat was my favourite as it had an a beautiful spring to cool off in and a small cave to e explore. Nice trek into the area too. The valley of the ghosts was very interesting with ancient Aboriginal rock art. I would have loved to have got to the coast but that would have been another week - maybe next time. The map they give you at check in as brilliant we only saw 20% of what was on the map.
These are only some of my top pick photographs.
