Local Wildlife
For those interested in brid watching, over 150 varieties of native birds ranging from the tiny Fire Tail Finch to Australia's largest raptor, the Wedge Tail Eagle, frequent the area in the immediate vicinity of the Lodge. Native flowering trees which have been planted in the area immediately below the lodge serve as an added attraction to the many nectar eating birds and other wildlife including the Ulyssis Butterfly.

The boys had great fun walking down the drive *many* times a day looking for the "wobbolies", and your resident possum probably has a tummy ache from the amount of apple and sultanas the kids insisted on lining up on the verandah rails each night. My eldest is doing his class talk on how possums like apple and sultanas but not sausage.
The house was magnificent, what a beautiful spot, so peaceful.
I would like to book the lodge again next year when my family from Japan visit us. I am sure they will enjoy the lodge as much as US visitor did.
