Visiting Bundanon and Riversdale
Bundanon Trust operates across two spectacular rural properties on the Shoalhaven River: Riversdale and Bundanon. Approximately 15 to 20 kms west of the town of Nowra
Bundanon Trust puts the health and safety of visitors and staff as its highest priority. We are closely monitoring all information and advice relating to COVID-19 and have decided to temporarily close to the public.
As we adapt to the current COVID-19 health emergency in Australia, we will continue to share our collection and property and connect with audiences through digital initiatives.
If you would like more information, please download COVID-19 Important Information below.
I stress the uniqueness of the Australian landscape and its metaphysical and mythic content- Arthur Boyd
This is the best way to experience the historic Bundanon Homestead and Arthur Boyd's Studio. Tours run at 11.30am and 1.30pm on Open Days.
Please note, there is no cafe onsite. Light refreshments are available but we recommend bringing a picnic so that you can make the most of your day.
Please drive carefully on the unsealed sections of the Bundanon road.
Riversdale is currently closed to the public while redevelopment continues. Once the new gallery and facilities are complete, the site will be reopened. Visit Riversdale Reimagined to find out more.
The Boyd Education Centre is also available for tours, conferences, education groups and wedding hire but a prior appointment is required. Please call 02 4422 2100 to arrange a site visit.
Extreme weather or fire conditions may force closure of either site - If you are uncertain, please check here: http://www.weatherlink.com/user/bundanon/.
Both Bundanon Trust properties (Riversdale and Bundanon) are registered wildlife refuges.
On 1,100 hectares, Bundanon Trust hosts a rich diversity of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and feral animals. We work closely with National Parks and Wildlife Services to protect and conserve the native plants and wildlife that live on our properties.
When visiting, please do not bring your domestic animals (pet dogs & cats etc.) onto our sites. This is for the safety of our native wildlife, as well as your pets.
Certified assistance animals accepted.
Tours of the Bundanon Homestead and Arthur Boyd's Studio happen EVERY Sunday (+ Saturdays in January) during Bundanon Open Day. We also welcome mid-week tours for groups and bus tours at other times by prior arrangement. Tours of Riversdale, including the world renowned Arthur & Yvonne Boyd Education Centre designed by Pritzker winner Glenn Murcutt in association with Wendy Lewin & Reg Lark are also available by prior booking.
