Stratford Country

About Stratford Country

Stratford Country is offering immersive guided tours of its past - Indigenous and Pioneer – and present – female-led modern beef production, through scheduled ‘all-inclusive stay and tour weekends’ exclusively for self-contained caravanners. Just off the now fully sealed Jericho Road north of Blackall in central west Queensland, Stratford is a working cattle property with significant Indigenous assets and a flourishing, regenerative grazing enterprise. Guided by Traditional Custodian Barry Riddiford and property owner/manager Robyn Adams, the stay and tour guests will experience a deep nuanced interpretation of ancient enduring Aboriginal Cultural practices and society. As the day closes, guests look skyward and learn about the Dreamtime Stories as seen in the stars. The second tour further explores the grazing property and the artefacts of Stratford’s pioneers including old bore and hotel sites, whilst seeing how beef cattle are ethically raised in Australia’s vast rangelands. In open woodlands of native grasses and pink sands, Stratford Country Jamba (Camp) is by a dry ephemeral lake. Amenities here include hot shower, toilet, dump-ezy, potable fresh water direct from the property bore and rubbish bins, with harvested fallen timber available for lakeside fires and guests’ replenishment. The tours from morning to early afternoon allow for later ‘walkabouts’ with an extensive bird list on request. Guests enjoy a hearty smoko-brunch mid-tour ‘in the paddock’ and cater for themselves elsewise.
