i grew up in camden and belgenny farm is a lovely venue. there are plenty of locations for great photos. natalie from farmer wants a wife shoots her segments there. it is beautiful and worth a look.
My husband and I had our wedding at Grazing in November last year – it really is the most beautiful place! The food and service was outstanding and the grounds of Grazing itself and the country surrounds are simply breathtaking!
Gorgeous places, very excited to see what you’ve found in Qld! I second Nikki and ask if there’s any organic options but in QLD. Thanks again for the great places and inspiration!
I have started to list some SA rustic wedding venues on my blog if you would like a head-start on the search!! I know of a few more too which i will add in the next week or so!

I live in the upper Blue Mountains (NSW) and have been searching high and low for something local with rustic charm, but so far it’s been pretty fruitless. Thank you for showing me some other options (albeit not in my own backyard :)!)
Hi Naomi,
I am looking for a rustic wedding venue in the mountains as well. Did you end up finding anything suitable? Mine is going to be a challenge as I need something big enough for 300 people! Any tips would be great!
Thanks,
Kit.

What a fantastic idea! A rustic wedding would be so much fun. Very detailed article.. I’m keen to check a few of these out.
Now if I could only find a site like Midginbill Hil in the southern end of NSW I’d be set
Thanks for some hints, though they all are a bit far away
All the wedding venues are wonderful but farm option is one of the better choice. https://plus.google.com/110267947049140676631/about?gl=AU&hl=en-AU
