Chimoolie Calling
Home Valley Station is operating a full-day tour inspired by the old Barclay stock route to Wyndham. This tour has been researched and put
together by our Indigenous trainees - so we are very proud of it!
The tour has been named Chimoolie Calling after the local Indigenous people's name for the area which was the last stop before Wyndham on the old stock route. The area is a large mass of land about 5km out of Wyndham which runs from the base of Bastion Point back towards the Carlton Ranges. It is here - after having driven cattle up via the Karunjie Track - that stockmen would water the cattle before moving on to the abattoir at Wyndham.
Chimoolie Calling circumnavigates the Cockburn Range via four-wheel-drive, lead by an HV8 Tour Guide and has many highlights, including:
Minimum four and maximum eight people per tour.
