Looking for a quiet, unique, and little known spot for a getaway? Kate and Greg Barrington are happy to welcome you to Forrest, Australia where they have six lovely cottages ready and waiting for you. Just go here for info on contacting the caretakers.
A couple of things you should know before making your reservation. Forrest is in the State of Western Australia near its border with South Australia. It's in the middle of the Nullarbor Plain, the almost treeless, flat, 77,000 square mile area, containing the world's largest formation of exposed limestone bedrock. However, it is conveniently located along the line of the Trans-Australian Railroad; in fact it's on the stretch of the railroad which is the longest straight track anywhere in the world - 297 miles! Unfortunately, the trains no longer regularly stop there. But don't let that discourage you; if you have a sturdy 4-wheel drive vehicle you can reach it by a 68 mile drive along a dirt road. And, best of all, there's an airstrip there; used for aircraft having emergencies, but I'm sure they'd let your private plane land there if you're a pilot.
