Yirri – Gundungarra word for Sun
Yirri is the biggest of our three tents. It is a 5 metre Bell tent which easily holds a queen bed with the possibility of two singles. A comfortable fit for a small family. The views are spectacular. You can feel completely surrounded by mountains. They can be enjoyed while eating your meal or relaxing on the two deck chairs which are on the generous deck outside the tent. The mud kitchens are fully equipped with cutlery and crockery. There is a sink and a small gas ring to quickly boil a kettle for tea. You will be provided with wood for your fire for cooking your meals.
Glamping facilities
Camp kitchen
There is a comfortable gazebo like camp kitchen which we have developed for tourists to retreat to in case of bad weather. There is a living area with a fireplace and a dining area. These seperate areas allow for different groups of tourists to enjoy the camp kitchen at the same time. The camp kitchen offers another possibility for group gatherings with it’s generous deck, bar and outdoor sitting area. There is a cast iron BBQ on the deck for cooking if the camp fires become too wet.
Showers
There are two showers. Both a glass fronted and are perched on the very edge of the hill so you get the feeling that there is very little between you and the mountains! It is truly a spectacular experience. There is a solar heater on top of the showers which allows for hot showers. We do ask however that you are careful to restrict your usage for the shower to 2 -3 minute showers.
Toilets
There is a toilet block at the back of Tanjenong camp. The two toilets are composting toilets. Be careful to read the instructions when using the toilet. They operate very like normal toilets but some instructions are necessary.
Bushwalks
You will be able to connect with one of the favourite Tanjenong walks, the Abercrombie River walk. This walk takes you through a diverse and pristine Eucalypt landscape to the Abercrombie river. The river walk offers a possibility of spotting a diverse range of wild animals, kangaroos, platypus, echidna, trout, wombat, goannas, goats and deer . The walk itself is roughly an hour and half to two hours long. It is steep in parts so it is important to wear good walking shoes.
Tanjenong camp offers 2 solar heated showers and 2 composting toilets. We have a centralised camp kitchen, where you can escape, should the weather be bad.
