๐ฐ๏ธ History
Once the site of the Mt Gipps Hotel, a hub for miners, explorers, and travelers in the late 1800s, this land has seen more red dust than most. The hotel now forms the heart of the resortโs social scene, honoring its historic roots with cold drinks and hearty meals. The area is also Wilyakali Country, part of the Barkindji nation, with deep cultural significance.
