Faraway Downs Homestead - Carlton Hill Station
The mythical Faraway Downs Homestead - the cattle station that Lady Ashley inherits in Australia after the death of her husband shortly after she arrives in Australia - is an actual structure, which was built on the private Carlton Hill Station in front of the majestic House Roof Hill.

Although not available for public access, visitors wishing to see the stunning scenery, which surrounds the homestead and is featured in the movie, can visit nearby Macka's Barra Camp.

Macka runs a popular Barramundi fishing company - notorious for catching the big one metre plus sized fish. Extended tours with Macka’s Barra Camp use Carlton Hill Station as their overnight camp.

The camp itself is located on the banks of the lower Ord River and has been purpose built for fishing holidays. Stay in bungalow style accommodation set amongst lush tropical vegetation. The dining area is large enough to accommodate groups of any size.
