The History of Boshack Outback

Life was lived quite simply by the early settlers in Western Australia. They had very little possessions and money, built their own homes with no electricity, cooked all their meals over a campfire and literally lived off the land experiencing many hardships.

Twenty years ago the owner squatted on the Boshack property for five years, living in a small shack, which he built in the middle of the bush.  The peace and tranquillity on Boshack was his way to relax, away from the pressures of the business world, and the hustle and bustle in the city. Whilst experiencing some of the hardships faced by the early settlers to this land, he soon realised that this simple life in the bush and nature in general offered something very special for the mind.

Over the years our family and friends have been very fortunate to enjoy this unique location for rest and relaxation. Having received many requests and suggestions to share this wonderful location with the rest of the world, we finally considered and acceded to these requests, and opened our doors to the outside world with well planned out tours, accommodation packages and itineraries that grew over time. We have endeavoured to keep the property in its natural state, thus the facilities are simple, so as to preserve the natural habitat. Welcome and enjoy the experience.

Global Achievements

We are honoured and proud to have been one of the 26 sites selected for Eco Sustainability to be presented to OFFSEAS Singapore in May 2018. It’s uniqueness being that Boshack Outback was the only off-grid location in the world presented at the Forum to represent the Real Australiana.

Other forms of sustainable living at Boshack Outback:

• Look at the yabbies in our ponds. Also, pull in the nets and purchase to eat if so desired.
• Constantly filled with fish, fishing at Lake Serene is only catch and return! If the population grows, we might be able to have some on the menu.
• Cook your sausages and meat using paperbark from our paperbark forest, like the aboriginal people did thousands of years ago.
• The Wattening Springs Nature Reserve consisting of over 100 acres of unspoiled bushland that adjoins the Boshack property.

Authentic Australian Cultural Experience

Relive the early culture created by our pioneers.  Lodge in shacks that have a peaceful lake view. Eat bush tucker food. Be touched by nature as you take part in outdoor activities in a bush setting. While it is basic it can still be comfortable and leaves one feeling relaxed.

Isolated and in the middle of 5000-acre farms, Boshack Outback allows you a getaway from crowds, tall buildings, and traffic. It is one of the few Western Australia iconic locations where you can visit all year round. Being directly east of Perth, our rainfall is only one-third of Perth’s. Located in Western Australia, we do have some hot days. Being next to a beautiful lake and surrounded by springs we seldom notice the heat. Spend a relaxed evening, enjoying the sights and sounds of the night.  Recap the highlights of the day with your friends as you sit around the campfire.

The glorious starry skies are the real magic of Boshack. Day visitors can also enjoy this before they leave after their scrumptious Aussie BBQ too.

Boshack Outback has specialised in nature and wildlife tours for over 10 years. We invite you to join us on any of our tours, and to share our passion for the beauty and wonders of the natural world.

Boshack Outback will ensure that your touring experience is comfortable, exhilarating, stress-free, and you will take home with you, some wonderful memories of the great Australian Outback!
