Your CottageBimbimbi is a thousand-hectare grazing property bordering the Condamine River and Greenswamp Road, 20 kilometres southwest of Chinchilla and three hours from Brisbane.

When you step out of your car, the tranquillity of this little valley tucked in against 200 hectares of high ridge wilderness will enfold you.

At last, for the pleasure of the public at large, the Gilligan family's closely guarded secret is out! Previously only available to close friends and family, Little Hollow is available for your exclusive use – or you may stay in the new Bimbimbi Homestead.

Settle into the 90-year-old homestead, a pioneering atmosphere blended with all the comforts of home. When rested, explore the wilderness or just laze and watch the Hereford cows and calves graze. It's your choice.
Experience…
  • Working Life on the Land: seasonal cattle work – branding, drafting and trucking to market.
  • Life in the Bush: Catch a glimpse of red-necked wallabies, kangaroos, goanna, a wide variety of birdlife, echidnas and, maybe, wild turkeys, koalas or a marsupial mouse.
  • Return to the Jurassic Age and pick up wood 140–180 million years old. Chinchilla is recognised as one of the largest areas of petrified wood in the world.
  • Enjoy the Wildflowers (July-September): wattles, wonga vine, hova scrub, hop bush and the panorama of bottle trees.
  • Local Historic Attractions: Visit local sights including the museums in Chinchilla and Miles.
