The Girliambone hunting property spreads out over 7000 acres and offers the opportunity for a variety of different hunting styles.
There are 11 paddocks of various sizes with a total of 13 dams. About 30% of the property is open cropping country and grass lands. The crops vary each year between wheat, oats, barley, chick peas, lucerne and lupins. The remaining 70% consist of light to medium scrub and forests with semi dry creeks. Stock kept on the property are cattle and sheep.
Game Found on Property
Game commonly found are pigs, foxes, wild cats, rabbits, hares and ducks. Trophy goats might be available for a fee at the property owners’ discretion, please check with owner before arrival.
The property has been family run for five generations and the owners are more than happy to give you good advice on ideal hunting times and locations for the kind of game you are looking for. The owners live and work on this property so have a good idea of the habits of the game.
Camping at Girliambone
The camp site is centrally located on the property and all paddocks can be easily accessed from there. There is no need to bring firewood with you, the property has firewood available for you to collect near the camp site and use at the fire pit at the camp (please be aware of possible restrictions due to fire bans).
Public showers and toilets are available within a 2km drive. They are opposite to the local pub which serves lunches, dinners and cold drinks.
About 80% of the property will have mobile phone service with Telstra.
Getting there and getting around
The property is easily accessed by a sealed road and therefore can be reached without a 4WD - although we recommend a 4WD for a better hunting experience once you arrived. Motorbikes and four wheelers are welcome on the property and will make hunting through scrubby areas easier and more fun.
When is the best time to book?
This property allows year-round hunting as plenty of game is available. Surrounding areas and properties are mainly scrubby and not hunted on a regular basis. Therefore, the supply of game, in particular pigs, that is coming onto the property seems endless.
Planting of cropping country will take place between March and May each year. Harvest will usually take place between the months of October and November.
Property Owner's Rules
Rules on the property are simple and include common sense. Please read the conditions for access to IHP properties on the back of the map you will receive on arrival. Some additional property specific rules were noted on the front of the map. These include to make sure that you take all your rubbish with you or bring it to the local tip (2km).
In respect for the hunters following you please do not leave carcasses near the camp site and also make sure you bury your toilet waste at least 100m from camp. Further we ask you not to leave any cans or glass bottles in the fire pit – they do not burn and the hunter’s arriving after you deserve a clean fire pit and camp site.
Do not drive on/ across crops – these cropping areas will be marked on the map you receive on arrival. You will also be advised of lambing season on arrival and need to be particularly mindful when driving around stock, especially during this season.

Girilambone #1 NSW Hunting Property
Reviewed by: Elias
Hi IHP, thankyou very much for your assistance with the process of booking the property at Girilambone. The owner was very welcoming and helpful with guiding us around the property. This property is highly recommended and we will definitely be back sometime in the near future. We had a successful trip hunting for our main species, pigs and other ferals. I hope Matt was happy with the outcome and the group of hunters. Thanks again Rating: 5
