BRIDGE MOORE LODGE
A Working Farm in Queensland's Bundaberg Region
In 1881, James and Barbara Lyons arrived on this land and built the original homestead from blue gum trees cut right here on the property. Over 140 years later, their legacy continues. Today, four generations of the family live and work together on the same land.
Set across 240 acres along the Kolan River, the property has evolved from cattle farming to sugarcane production, and is now rooted in regenerative agricultural practices.
This is a working farm where four generations still gather around the fire each morning before the day begins. Children feed animals, exercise horses, join musters, and collect eggs for breakfast. The family works the land together using regenerative practices that restore rather than extract.
When Nadine began sharing glimpses of their life online, the response was immediate. People from around the world commented on something they sensed was missing from their own lives—a different rhythm, a connection to land and family, a simpler way forward.
Bridge Moore Lodge opened its doors to let others experience what's been woven into this land for over 140 years. Whether guests come alone for solitude, with family to reconnect, or as couples seeking renewal, they find the same thing: a return to what matters. Premium hand-built lodges rest quietly across the property, each designed to facilitate that return.
It's why so many say the same thing when they leave: "I just feel so good here - it feels like home."
