What do we do?

In 2022, we proudly managed the Grand Opening and daily operations of the venue during the season. Responsible for camp maintenance, record keeping, welcoming guests, housekeeping, and all catering needs (max. 12 guests).
​
Rangelands is a fully off-grid camp with a total of over seventy 340W solar panels charging eight 12.6KW lithium batteries. 65000 ltr of rainwater tanks for the operational side of the venue, plus six 3500 ltr water tanks for each of the accommodations. The enzyme-driven bacterial sewage system creates grey water being used to water the landscape. Recycling is another important aspect of the camp, controlling wastage not only by separating the rubbish, but also by ensuring that the suppliers deliver the goods packed in reusable or recyclable containers.
​
Implementing all operational systems, creating an over 200-page resort manual for new staff, training plans, liquor license compliance, food safety compliance, maintenance reports, fuel/gas/water levels reports, troubleshooting, and more.
Using drones and inspiring professional photographic equipment, providing photographs and film footage for social media and advertising purposes. Creating a 'Rangelands Outback Camp Guest Guide'
Working closely with Winton businesses and locals.
Educating ourselves about the regional offerings, landmarks, attractions, history, wildlife and dinosaurs, of course (Australia's Dino Capital).
It is exciting to share everything we learn with our guests and learn from them at the same time, as our guests are coming from a very broad spectrum of professions.
​
We have been returning for every season since, to continue our journey with Rangelands Outback Camp and John Stainton, improving what we all have started and achieved so far.
​
Every year we return to Rangelands to rebuild all tents, upgrade the electrics and do an extensive maintenance check.
After 4 years of operating, the camp has integrated so well into the environment that there is almost no landscaping needed.
​
Over the past 4 years, we have maintained an impressive 5-star rating throughout all media platforms (Google, Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.)
