Nature Experiences At The Property
Worm Farm & Composting
Feed our worms your organic food scraps and watch a circular food system in action. The worms make castings that we use as fertiliser on our Harvest Garden.
Spotlighting
Pack a spotlight and walk around the property after dark to discover the nocturnal wildlife. We have six nesting boxes to provide safe spaces for different species.
Frogging
Download the Frog ID app and sit down by the dam recording the frog calls at dusk. You’ll be amazed to hear all the sounds.
Birdwatching
Don’t forget to pack the binoculars for endless birdwatching and wildlife spotting opportunities.
Harvest Garden
We like to think of this as a community garden. Help yourselves to the fresh produce, show the kids how the produce grows and tend to the garden if you wish. All the tools are there in the garden shed. The kids will also discover the fairy garden.
Star Gazing
Away from the city lights, the stars on a clear night are amazing. Find the saucepan and southern cross. Look for the red star which is our neighbour Mars. Download the Skyview Lite app to discover the constellations and planets.
Wildlife Spotting
Besides birds and frogs, you might see swamp wallabies grazing, goannas, and visitors to our nesting boxes including sugar gliders, squirrel gliders, feathertail gliders, ringtail possums, brushtail possums and microbats.
Bushwalking
Step into our wilderness for a ramble or some forest bathing. Over half our property is natural wetland and bushland. You’ll be going off the beaten track so where boots and take your phone for GPS.
