The book you keep not writing
A weekend in the bush to get it started. For capable people who've carried a book, a memoir, or an idea for years and never let themselves begin.

Why most of us never start
The hardest part of writing is the voice that says you're not a real writer. Ironbark was created to quiet that voice and send you home having actually begun.
reconnect
It's easy to lose yourself in the day-to-day grind. At Ironbark, you'll discover how to put the magic back into your creative journey, reconnect with your heart and soul, and remember why you wanted to write in the first place.
Welcome to Ironbark
revive
Experience the harmony and tranquility of an ancient tea ceremony, attend workshops in a Mongolian yurt, work with a qualified psychotherapist to discover what's holding you back, meditate in a tipi, take long walks in the bush, and sleep on a real bed in the comfort of your luxurious twin-share bell tent.
What to Expect
create
Ironbark is a bush haven where you can escape from the everyday and connect with the things that really matter—the land, new friends, and YOU. Take time out to find out what's holding you back, create some space for yourself, and discover new ways of experiencing the world.
