Most of the birds can be spotted from the lodge deck on a given day including the vulnerable Gang-Gang Cockatoo, Scarlet and Flame Robins and critically endangered Regent Honeyater.

Fishing

Swimming in the river

  • Numerous deep and shallow river holes are safe for a dip after a long walk

Outback stargazing

  • Increasing light pollution makes it harder to see the night sky in its awe-inspiring glory...but not deep in the bush, where it's rich in dark.
