Twitching and animal spotting

The unique river environment with majestic river red gums (Eucalyptus Camaldulensis) is a haven for bird and animal life. Kingfishers, honeyeaters, parrots and waterbirds.

Kangaroos, wallabies, possums, and the occasional emu makes caravanning and camping an Aussie bush experience, in town or out along the river.
