Meeline Writers’ Cottage began its life at Reedy’s Gold Mine, before being relocated to Attwood Street Mount Magnet. The Cottage was then dismantled and re-assembled by Pip Day on Meeline Station. This is where Pip and Lorna Day, a co-author of “Drawn to Mt Magnet”  lived for about ten years. Later, The Cottage became the much loved home of Adrian and Karen Morrissey and their family. It was in this cottage Karen Morrissey wrote and illustrated the Australian outback Christmas story for children, “The Night Emus Fly over an eight year period. It was also here, in what had been an earlier residence of co-author Lorna Day, she researched, wrote and edited “Drawn to Mt Magnet” the published history of Mount Magnet.

The Station Quarters

Available as an overflow for larger groups when beds are filled to capacity at the Homestead and Cottage, simply basic outback – the corrugated iron quarters have eight twin share rooms leading off a large central passageway. Maintaining the unique character of  ‘the bush’,  the beds are traditional cyclone wire – for your authentic outback experience.  Mattresses are foam rubber to assist your comfort.

A separate ablution block is available.

Bush Camping Under The Stars

Bush camping is possible for special interest groups (example, walking and cycling groups)  and individuals in some circumstances. Prices will be quoted on request. Generally there is no bush camping permitted.
