QLD Lanarium Retreat A former working woolshed from the 1960s has been transformed into a luxury outback escape at Shirbar, a 2900-hectare cattle and cropping farm located near Thallon, two hours’ drive west of Goondiwindi. Owners Sally and Paul Kennedy manage the off-grid property, which runs on solar power and rainwater, and features recycled furnishings. Catering to seven guests, Lanarium has three spacious bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and an open-plan dining and living area. Guests receive gourmet food hampers stocked with Shirbar’s grass-fed beef, pork and lamb, plus goodies from the vegie patch, along with complimentary whisky and liqueurs brewed by Paul for his label Dunroman Distilling. During your stay, enjoy wildlife spotting, catch freshwater yabbies, explore the scenic walking trail and stargaze by the campfire. Book your getaway online. lanariumretreat.com.au
