 Fishing, Fishing and More Fishing in Australia's Northern Territory..

So you want to do some fishing or camping in Australia's Outback N.T.

You have come to the right place !!! 

Whether you want to go Barramundi fishing, game fishing, reef fishing or just fishing for whatever comes along, Lorella Springs Wilderness Park is a fisherman's paradise.  

Fronting the Gulf of Carpentaria, just off the Savannah Way, Lorella Springs  is a virtually untouched one million acre property. A dream retreat with a magical atmosphere of solitude and serenity. 

Located 15 degrees south of the equator, in one of the remotest and most isolated areas of Australia or even planet Earth, we offer a superb retreat experience of an outstanding natural environment, with fish, fish and more fish. 

CAMPING AT THE HOMESTEAD

If just camping and getting off the beaten track is all that you are after then the Lorella Springs Wilderness Park is just the thing for you. The homestead camping area is usually accessible in the dry season by conventional bush-prepared vehicles and caravans. The Homestead Park  is situated on the Lorella Thermal Spring. There are many things to see and do around the homestead vicinity, or just relax in the wonderful, "healing, magic spring". There is plenty of good fresh water fishing and yabbying within close proximity to the Homestead.

Our Launching Area on the Rosie River is approx 80 Kilometres from the Homestead Camping Grounds. Camping and fishing are excellent right near the launch ramp or from the river banks.

Although we advise people that the track is rough, by taking it easy, visitors have driven larger boats and caravans right to the launch site.

Lorella Springs Station can be located by travelling along the Savannah Way in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Northern Territory. (NT). It is about 175 Km from Borroloola, and 145 Km from Cape Crawford.

Because of it's geographical position, it's size ( larger than many countries ) and up until recently, its inaccessibility, we have remained one of the World's most isolated, remote and untouched last frontiers. Huge chasms and gorges formed millions of years ago, wetlands and swamps teeming with life. Some of the best fishing on planet Earth and Adventure bursting at the seams. It's all here.

Lorella is one million acres or four thousand square kilometres, with 20 kilometres of ocean frontage, hundreds of kilometres of river systems, creeks, waterways, swamp lands and billabongs.

ROSIE RIVER FISHING CAMP

The Rosie Fishing Camp and boat ramp is located about fifteen kilometres up stream from the mouth where the Rosie meets the sea. Access is through the Lorella Springs homestead. The road (track) has only recently been opened and is extreme 4WD (4 Wheel Drive) access only. EXPERIENCED 4WD Drivers ONLY or by guided tour.

The campground at the homestead is situated on a beautiful natural hot water spring, just perfect for relaxing in. Travellers with caravans or trailers may choose to unhitch here before making their way 80 kilometres to the fishing camp and boat ramp, then down the river by boat to the open sea.
