25.01.2022 Every time Evan Bailey Photography shoots a wedding here, he has a knack of spotting a different photo location we would have never thought of - a winding, dry creek bed was site of this cracking photograph from the weekend's wedding celebrations.

25.01.2022 A gorgeous day here for a wedding celebration! We are closed this afternoon as a result but will be open as normal tomorrow from 10am for visitors exploring the Clare Valley who wish to do our self guided tour or pop into our farm shop.

25.01.2022 Another glorious day for a wedding at Bungaree! We are so lucky to have great local suppliers like Weddings, Marriage Celebrant, Bob Mcgilchrist to help ensure functions run smoothly. We are always happy to recommend suppliers and Clare Valley Weddings & Functions is another great source of contacts.

25.01.2022 There's nothing quite like drinks at a local winery to kick start your weekend in the Clare Valley, so its great to see that "Fridays at 5" at Eldredge Wines is going to be a weekly event!

24.01.2022 We always love seeing the transformation of our Woolshed from working woolshed to function venue by Mid North Party Hire.. as did South Aussie with Cosi for this weekend's wedding!

24.01.2022 A peaceful spot for reflection... and recalling many years of post-service hopscotch and chasey around the family memorial at St Michaels Church at Bungaree Station

23.01.2022 Give Malcolm a wave if you see his truck sporting our logo on the back! His trucks help cart our grain at harvest, and he kindly offered to be our moving billboard.

22.01.2022 The furry members of our customer service team are taking the Government's advice to stay home very seriously, and encourage other South Australians to do the same. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Clare Valley, South Australia, Australia.com when it is safe to do so.

22.01.2022 Last of the bonfires at Bungaree before Summer arrives in the Clare Valley, South Australia

20.01.2022 Some gorgeous pics by TB Photography & Videography of the weekend’s celebrations

19.01.2022 Sunday night done right, Clare Valley style! Warm fires and Wendouree at Bungaree - can’t imagine a better place to be!

18.01.2022 No wild nights on the town for this mob! A cold snap meant these freshly shorn sheep had to spend their nights indoors over the weekend to acclimatise after having their woolly jumpers removed. Thanks to Muttley's Outback Office who captured this lovely photograph when touring the property on the weekend. South Australia #SeeSouthAustraliaFromHome Clare Valley

17.01.2022 You know you’re up for a good night when dancing shoes are provided! Hope these pics from last weekend’s celebrations provide some inspiration for other bridal couples. It was a fabulous event, with setup by Mid North Party Hire, catering by Sprout Cooking School & Health Studio, music by Sofie Bozzetti Entertainment and great crowd provided by the bride and groom! Keep an eye out for the professional photos by Tomek Photography, as they will be stunners.

17.01.2022 Whether you want to enjoy here in the spring sun, or feast later at home, our Station Store stocks our favourite South Australian cheeses and Clare Valley platter partners.

16.01.2022 Playing Bungaree-style Tetris, re-laying slate on the Homestead verandah, with a few new pieces borrowed from other spots on the farm! We are very proud of our hardworking maintenance team who do the job right so it will last another 180 years!

15.01.2022 Anlaby's Open Garden Day is always a fabulous way to celebrate Spring! We love visiting given Bungaree's special connection to Anlaby. The Hawker brothers purchased almost 2,500 sheep from the Dutton brothers that had been walked overland from NSW to Anlaby. These sheep were purchased at at 2/10/- per head in mid 1841, and were kept at the Hawker's temporary head station nearby before they travelled North and established Bungaree later that year. Today its fabulous to see the passion that Anlaby's owners, Andrew and Peter, have for both the sheep flock and the restoration of the buildings and beautiful gardens at Anlaby Station.

13.01.2022 Two cute new customer service reps have joined our team. These two pics show how different our two main species of ‘roos are in the Clare Valley, South Australia... and confirm that their common names don’t always make sense: the Euro (who is grey) and the Western Grey (who is actually brown)..

11.01.2022 A short slideshow produced for last week’s Clare Valley Festival of the Lamb event, including some historic images of Bungaree

10.01.2022 Lovely to spot these Tawny Frogmouths on one of our 4WD farm tours. They are masters of disguise, flattening themselves to look like a branch on a tree.

10.01.2022 Bungaree Station is a cracking location for a holiday. Just north of Clare. I’m here for the weekend

09.01.2022 Great news for our upcoming weddings, birthday and Christmas functions: cocktail functions and dancing are back! For further information about our venues, please visit https://bungareestation.com.au/venues/ or contact us.

09.01.2022 Thanks Caravan and Camping SA for including a day visit to Bungaree in the Clare Valley itinerary in the Road Trip Ready guide. For those South Aussies planning their next expedition, the guide mentioned in this video has just been released and is available from many caravan/camping stores and businesses.

09.01.2022 These cars from Model T Ford Club seemed to fit right in amongst the heritage buildings while they were doing a tour of Bungaree this weekend. It’s great to see car club rallies and other groups back exploring the Clare Valley, combining some of the picturesque drives with visits to heritage sites, wineries, art galleries, pubs and restaurants.

08.01.2022 International Women's Day is the perfect excuse to recognise some of the women who played significant roles in Bungaree's history over the past 179 years. These inspirational ladies include Bessie Hawker, the original martiarch of Bungaree and mother of 16 children; Lady Frankie Hawker, who helped preserve and collate Bungaree's historical records; and Sal Hawker, who saved the heritage buildings through the development of the hospitality business and continues to play a key role in enabling its success. Thankyou to these amazing women and others like them who continue to inspire us. #IWD2021

07.01.2022 Australia Marketplace in North America has been a little different this year - but having it virtually meant some furry members of our marketing team got to meet travel advisors from across the globe. Thanks Tourism Australia and South Australian Tourism Commission for coordinating the event and helping inspire future visitors to include the Clare Valley in their itinerary.

06.01.2022 Evening stroll through the paddocks to admire the canola crops just starting to put on their stunning show in the Clare Valley

06.01.2022 Bungaree has one of Australia’s oldest working woolsheds - and visitors doing our tour this week have seen it in action with our shearing team busy crutching some of our flock, before our 178th annual shearing in October. Self guided tours are available 10am-4pm daily, with shearers due to finish off the last mob on Friday Clare Valley South Australia

04.01.2022 Meridee Groves Photography captured the best start to a new wedding season - we couldn’t have asked for a better crowd than Megan and Nathan’s crew to get the party started after the past 6 months!

04.01.2022 Planning a wedding can be a little more stressful with all the uncertainties associated with COVID-19 - but this fabulous video produced by one of our fave wedding photographers, Nadinne Grace Photography, contains some helpful insights for upcoming bridal couples and those who are newly engaged.

04.01.2022 A Paint and Plonk session is a perfect inclusion for a girls weekend away - you'll get creative under the expert guidance of The Journey Studio - Art by Meg Mader, assisted by some Clare Valley wine, and take home your masterpieces as souvenirs.

04.01.2022 It is fabulous to have dancing back at private functions - especially as one of the hardest jobs a COVID Marshal could possibly have is keeping the bridesmaids seated when talented duo Andy & Emily play!

04.01.2022 There’s nothing quite like growing your own food... though you need to plan menus a season in advance! Don’t tell our excess roosters but the crunchy celery has me thinking of chicken stock...

03.01.2022 If you want to take all the hassle out of planning a mini break, then our "Heritage Clare" package is for you. This two night package offered by Bungaree Station and Kilikanoon Wines in collaboration with Sevenhill Cellars and Sevenhill Hotel follows in the footsteps of early settlers and winemakers through the picturesque Clare Valley, South Australia. See the link below for further details https://bungareestation.com.au/plan/packages/

02.01.2022 Thanks Scarlet Studios for sharing this fabulous insight into last weekend’s wedding. It has been a year since C19 threw many couples plans into disarray so the return of celebrations like these have felt extra special.

01.01.2022 Looking forward to the return of weddings! The past 6 months have all made us realise how special it is to celebrate these occasions with your family and friends. We still have some weekends available this year, so do get in touch if you want to find out how your special day can be tailored to suit your plans.

01.01.2022 There were so many special moments during Saturday's reception but Meridee Groves Photography captured this one perfectly - Mr & Mrs Pepper and their party crew didn't let COVID-19 cramp the celebrations!

01.01.2022 Lovely to see the girls from Adelady out exploring our beautiful region, the Clare Valley.

01.01.2022 We've noticed more families taking relaxed midweek breaks, especially before the busy school holiday period kicks off! Thanks Jess and family for staying with us this week and for your lovely review.
