Our most exciting project yet!
For years, Ivory’s Rock (‘Amaroo’) has been challenged by a lack of permanent, fully weather-proof accommodation. For this reason the Campground Orange accommodation with ensuite bathrooms has proved particularly popular.
Following last September’s ‘Amaroo 2022’ Event, an infrastructure group has been working on identifying, designing and funding some new options for the site, including investigating the feasibility of using 3D-printed and other technology to build our architectural designs as well as exploring ready-made cabin options.
Now the time has come to meet that challenge head on, and this new project will see the construction of the first prototype Cabin at Ivory’s Rock.
What a joy to be involved with such an amazing project! Imagine environmentally-sensitive, well-designed cabins dotted throughout the green surrounds of the centre.
These cabins would also form the basis of a whole new approach to the commercial viability of Ivory’s Rock, outside of peace events.

Sample of a prefabricated Cabin
And our target for this first step, building an initial Cabin prototype - $45,000
This would include connecting to services and landscaping.
We’ve included one sample draft design as well as one ready-made option. Our goal is to have a range of cabin types available around the property.
We are using the principles of environmentally-sensitive design:
- Placing and arranging buildings with the least impact on the natural environment.
- Keeping existing trees, making room for landscaping and appropriate planting.
- Minimising disturbance of the ground for roads and building platforms.
- Keeping buildings small for less impact (and affordability).
- Buildings to designed to work as efficiently as possible with the sun.
We are also aiming for buildings to be low maintenance, fire resistant and durable in the harsh Australian environment.
Once the cabin prototype project is up and running, we will post further pictures and designs, and then keep everyone updated on approvals and ‘next-steps’.
Exciting times to get involved!
