Access to the places we protect is managed to minimise environmental impact, disruptions to our conservation work, and for safety. For these reasons, it's not possible for us to offer general access to all our properties. But this page will be updated with new opportunities to visit, as they become available.

Types of visit

Self-guided day visits:
You can explore some of our less remote properties yourself, but be self-sufficient and prepared. No bookings needed. Please check weather forecasts and don't visit if stormy or on days of very high fire danger.

Camping stays:
Campers must be well-equipped and experienced remote travellers. Basic bush campsites provide a base to explore self-guided tracks at your own pace. Bookings are essential (at least a week in advance please). Campgrounds open seasonally with bookings open two months prior.

Guided trips:
We provide a range of guided trips each year to a variety of locations. This page is updated as new trips become available. These are a great way to learn about a property, guided by our knowledgeable staff and other experts. Trips range from single to multi-day stays.

Guided trips

Reminders about upcoming guided trips and other visitation opportunities are included in our e-news.
