25.01.2022 Feeding time at Little Roper. 3m snake "parrot" taking a rat from me.

25.01.2022 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone from Vanuatu! Stay safe and happy in 2020, and maybe see you when our gates open April Fools Day!

24.01.2022 Happy Easter from us at the Stockcamp! It was one of firsts and seconds! First time we made chocolate egg filled Johnny Cakes and we had a Second surprise visit from the longest residents at LRS. I think they were sad to go but they’ll always have a reminder from the Stockcamp. They traded in their Toyota Frontier for our Toyota Bull-Catcher!!!

23.01.2022 Little Roper closed early due to these fires. Opening again April fools day. no damage due to our bushfire plan and lots of help.

23.01.2022 The tourist season is starting to get busy, so we trained Alias to man reception! Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!

23.01.2022 You'll always receive priority parking at the Little Roper Stockcamp!

23.01.2022 I spy with my little eye something beginning with "C"

23.01.2022 Fully booked out tonight, had to send people away. Please book if you want to stay here we are only small and want to keep it that way.

21.01.2022 Little Roper Stockcamp will hold its last Wednesday night dinner this week. This will be replaced by a stew and curry night on a Tuesday and Thursday, see following post for more information. Saturday campoven dinners will continue!

21.01.2022 Our new commercial kitchen leaving Katherine, any body good at leggo and have a few days to spare....

21.01.2022 Darcy may be young but he still helps Mum and Dad light the nightly fire at 5!

20.01.2022 Giddy up for the Never Never Festival Rodeo on this Saturday!!! Can guarantee it will be more thrilling than watching a frog riding a dung beetle!

20.01.2022 Just a few of the spectacular sights and things to do in Mataranka!

20.01.2022 One new addition. Wharfie, a little Jungle Python, strikes every time I pick him up. Bitten me 20-30 times. Happy little bugger though!

20.01.2022 Get hold of some LRS Merchandise! Stubby holders and mugs (price in photo). Ladies, Men’s and Kids shirts ($80 - various colors include green, grey, red and more). Ladies singlets ($30), men’s singlets to come as well as kids polo shirts!

19.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mama’s out there! It was a cold one at the Stockcamp this morning but our mums got to warm up with a pannikin of Prosecco!

19.01.2022 Pig should be pregnant and Elsy the cow should have dropped her bundle by the time you travelers visit us, safe travels..

19.01.2022 Well as they say, all good things come to an end... Christian and Mez left today to continue their adventures and after 2 months in the Never Never they became family. You might be gone but don’t worry the dough will be perfect - not too wet, not too dry! The Stockcamp will miss you, but we know you’ll be back and camped under the Never Never Tree again soon!!!

18.01.2022 LIttle Roper is now closed until April 2020. Des, Telka and Darcy are looking forward to the wet season and to a well event break!

18.01.2022 Welcome little friendly parrot to the Little Roper Stockcamp!

17.01.2022 Hi all, it’s with sadness that we have decided to temporarily close Little Roper Stockcamp until 2021. For health reasons and the current uncertainty around COVID and the NT boarders opening, we cannot risk our health. For anyone who already has a booking, you are still welcome to stay, we just won’t be offering dinners or billy tea of a morning. Thanks for your understanding, stay safe everyone!

17.01.2022 Photo in our reception needs an explanation which we have now done thanks to a concerned client! This photo is a "trophy" photo of a police officer with his "catch", our history! My dad used to be an NT Magistrate and proudly had it in his chambers... he would say "If we forget the past we can't improve the future". When he passed away I was lucky enough to have it given to me. I went to school in Alice with Indigenous people, have spent my whole career working with Indigenous mob, as a learner, a co-worker and a boss in later years. I have even had numerous Indigenous bosses. When you visit the NT please don't judge us "white fellows" as rednecks, I have spent my whole life attempting to improve indigenous outcomes.. BUT don't forget our past and some of the past injustices we have inflicted upon the ones who came before us.

17.01.2022 Our Park is so sensitive to your needs even the grass responds to our touch, ha ha
