Attractions: In the Bush
Spend your time in the Bush on some of our local activities.
Enjoy the native animals and birds on one of our many bush walks; The Bird Walk, Billy Can Rest, The Billabongs, The Wild Woods, or Gum Tree Gully.
If you'd prefer, unwind in one of our quiet places with a book from our Library, or just be alone with yourself or your companion.
 Ever wondered what you could do if you had the time. We have canvas and drawing materials available so take one for a walk and create a masterpiece. Or, bring your camera and spend some time taking photos for no real reason.
Maybe you'd like to just sit by a Billabong or on our wide verandas and enjoy the food. You can play a board game remembered from days past.
If you get a hankering for the more modern life, there is always a DVD to enjoy in the lounge.
By night you can choose to experience Camp oven cooking, and sit around the Campfire. If you have an interest in the stars, the clear skies of the bush display them magnificently. |
