We are very fortunate to be
centrally positioned to access the nature reserves and
national parks of Two Peoples' Bay -
home of the Noisy Scrub Bird and Gilbert's Potoroo (25
kms), Waychinnicup, (55 kms), Porongurups
(16 kms) and Stirling Ranges (50 kms).
The coastline around here is also home to many waders and
other seabirds, and we can direct visitors to the best
points for observing this type of bird.
The elusive ground parrot
and rock parrot have been sighted in these areas! We can
possibly arrange for you to meet birding 'pros' of our
acquaintance. We have a bird list for the property as
well as for the Albany region, copies are available to
guests.
Thanks to Charlie Davies for
the use of his beautiful photographs!
