Boshack Outback Eco Accommodation Boshack Eco Springs is a 250 acre property surrounded by pristine bushland, Freshwater Springs & a Lake. A tranquil place to enjoy all the activities on offer or just relax by the lake and soak in the atmosphere. We have lakeside Humpy & Safari Tent accommodation, being simple bush dwellings for a real outback adventure. A unique place for family weekends away, school camps and for the overseas traveller the authentic Australian experience. Please note: Boshack isnt just accommodation, it is an experience. If you would like to get back to the basics of life in a beautiful setting, which is solar powered, fresh gardens of organic food & simple accommodation, with little impact to the environment, then your are up for a unique adventure at Boshack. I adore outback experiences like this. When I live indoors, I rarely need to do anything special as regards skin care, but for outback experiences I find my skin dries out more so I take moisturisers and collagen face cream and if there is swimming involved or bore water showers, I take very high quality hair moisturisers.

Valid to 16/7/10. Visit the website for more information about this fantastic escape in a great location. ( Package value $275) conditions:

• valid until 16/07/2010
• subject to availability.
  The Hope From Ashes auction will run online starting on the date of the benefit concert with new items being put up daily over the next week.  This online auction will raise awareness and funds and give people the opportunity to contribute and help Toodyay people who are rebuilding after the fire.
  
  We have tried to gather together a range of diverse and high quality items and services that in some way reflect the diversity and creativity of the Toodyay community. In finding a gift for yourself you will be giving to the Toodyay community and we hope the excitement and high energy of the auction will be uplifting and inspiring in its way.
  
  The auction has the Hope From Ashes flavour celebrating and demonstrating the generosity, positivity and support that has flowed so readily for and within the Toodyay community.
  
  As well as people from Perth many local Toodyay businesses and individuals have also contributed to the auction, some although deeply affected by the fires through loss of home or workplace. Artworks, craft items, trips away, fantastic meals and even life coaching sessions, massages, motoring items, clothing and collectors plates are just a few of the amazing items we can offer you. The list grows every day so “no napping” or you may miss a fabulous item…which is just what you need!
  
  We hope you will enjoy the items on offer and we hope you have fun whilst you bid big as we pull together to raise much needed funds for the survivors of the Toodyay Bushfires.
