On arrival the farm opens like a quiet theater: a cleared loop of grass, a single canvas yurt, and the low hum of insects as the sun eases behind jarrah and marri trees. Guests shed city noise for a slow, measured rhythm — a barbecue sizzles, the river dares you to dip a toe, and the first stars prick the sky above the campfire.

Lane Poole Reserve sits in the Darling Range, carved by the Murray River through ancient lateritic soils and banded ironstone. The area’s timber-getting past shaped access tracks and created a working-forest culture; today those same tracks lead to swimming holes, short bushwalks, and quiet birding. Local Wirrap people have connections to the land stretching back millennia, and modern visitors find stewardship reflected in basic, low-impact facilities.
Expect rustic comfort rather than glamping polish: the yurt provides covered sleeping and a small kitchen area nearby with a shower and toilet. Activities center on the outdoors — short hikes in jarrah forest, river swims, paddleboarding, and evening stargazing with minimal light pollution. Wildlife is active at dawn and dusk; possums and kookaburras are frequent visitors.
Practical pointers: arrive in daylight to learn the site layout, bring reusable water bottles and headlamps, and pack insect repellent and layered clothing for cool nights. The host supplies ingredients for dinner and breakfast and offers a guide for park access; fuel your vehicle before leaving town. This is an easy, low-stress overnight that rewards simple gear, a curious attitude, and respect for a fragile riverside ecosystem.
