Local Flora and Fauna:
These local species have been recorded, but there are lots more out there. Drop us an email with details of local flora and fauna. We are visited by a wonderful range of birds and there have been numerous sightings of wallabies and echidnas, plenty of possums (of course), frogs, black snakes, brown snakes and pythons. There are flannel flowers growing down in the bush and along the tracks as well as tree-grasses and the occasional waratah. See the Gallery and Rob Bugdens photos here.
