Snakes are waking from their winter rest and moving through the same paths we all share out here. Wooramel is their home as much as ours, so a few gentle reminders as you explore:

Stick to the paths and steer clear of longer grass, where they like to rest. If you spot one, give it space. It's most likely just as keen to move away from you as you are from it. Please don't approach, throw anything, or try to pick one up.

We're a fair way from town, so if you do see a snake and are concerned, let reception or the café know and we'll get someone out to move it on safely.

The cold morning air meets the warmth of the artesian water and for a moment the whole bath disappears into steam, right as the sun starts working its way over the horizon. Take a minute to enjoy this special time of the day, wrapped up to the shoulders in water that’s been warming underground long before any of us arrived.

Some years the wildflowers are shy. This year, thanks to the rain, they're everywhere. A quiet reminder of how much this land gives back when it's looked after and left alone. Come wander through it with us.

Cuts to Working Holiday Maker and Tourist visas could hit Wooramel and other station stays across WA hard. Long-stay visitors travel further, stay longer, and help fill the seasonal roles that keep us welcoming guests and delivering the outback experiences you love. 🐑

We’re backing the campaign to keep the current visa settings and protect the role these visitors play in regional WA’s tourism, communities and economy.
If you believe long-stay visitors matter to regional WA, please follow the link below or in the comments and sign the petition.

We hosted our first writing retreat this year, and it turned out to be one of those things we didn't quite know how much we needed until it happened. Days spent with pen to paper, long conversations over meals, and a few quiet corners of the station to disappear into when the words needed space to come. Have a watch — some of the feedback from our participants says it better than we ever could.

A big thank you to Tabetha , who facilitated this beautiful event with so much care none of it would have come together without her.

We've already locked in next year's dates: 20–23 August. If you've ever thought about giving yourself a few days away to actually write — not just think about writing — this might be it.

Send us a DM or drop an email if you'd like to know more.

Spacious, private, shaded by majestic gum trees. Your own fire pit. Front-row seats as the riverbed turns purple. No wonder our Riverside sites are one of the most popular at Wooramel.

Thanks, Emma and Austen , for capturing these beautiful moments!

Our last post about the billabong build sparked some really good questions — so we thought we'd take a moment to answer them properly. Swipe through for a look at what's coming, how it'll work, and when you can expect to soak in it yourself.
