A New Way to Experience the Outback

There are places in Australia that feel less like a destination and more like a story.

Callubri Station, set on 28,000 acres of sweeping Western Plains in Central West NSW, is one of them. The Australian outback is more than just a backdrop; every fence line, weathered beam, and crimson sunset carries a chapter of the land’s history

For many, reaching these remote landscapes feels daunting. But with Crooked Compass by Air, arriving is seamless. In just under two hours from Sydney, a private aircraft delivers you directly to Callubri Station; where rugged beauty meets one’s indulgence, giving travelers the chance to explore, dine, and unwind in ways few ever experience.

Callubri Station’s Heritage and History

Callubri Station carries more than 150 years of history. It’s a working Merino station with roots in the 1800s, where hand-chiseled woolsheds still stand as markers of generations past. Guests wander through shearing sheds built from timber cut on-site, explore paddocks where flocks graze, and feel the heritage of wool and lamb production that has shaped the region for centuries.

History here doesn’t gather dust; it comes alive in every detail. The Shearer’s Quarters, once a wartime Officer’s Mess, has been lovingly transformed into guest lounges, with rustic timbers, wide verandahs, and the scent of freshly baked bread filling the air.

Picnic Under the Stars Callubri Station Adventure by Air

Outback Adventures and Stargazing

Mornings might begin with a farm briefing over lemon myrtle tea and homemade damper before setting out in a safari-style vehicle to traverse red-dirt tracks, spot kangaroos, emus, echidnas, and flocks of galahs across the vast Western Plains. Pause for sundowners at The Lookout, where 360-degree views stretch across the horizon and the fading light turns the land to gold.

As night falls, Callubri transforms again. A highlight for many is the “Moon Bathing” experience; reclining in vintage clawfoot bathtubs perched on the back of a station ute, champagne in hand, as the stars scatter above. Few settings capture the magic of the outback night sky quite like this.

Callubri Station embodies the reminder that the best luxury sometimes comes wrapped in simplicity.

Long Lunch Callubri Station Adventure by air

Luxury Outback Dining and Paddock-to-Plate Experiences

Dining at Callubri Station is an experience in itself. Step through antique church doors into a rustic hall where chandeliers hang from timber beams, and long tables are set with the finest local produce.

Every meal is crafted by private chefs who draw inspiration from the land itself: lamb raised on nearby paddocks, seasonal fruits, and artisan treats sourced from the Central West. A three-course paddock-to-plate lunch paired with regional wines is just the beginning. For those visiting on a day trip, this “fanciest paddock lunch” is one of Crooked Compass by Air’s most celebrated Long Lunch in the Bush experiences.
