The Bush Tucker Walk

Meander through our regrowth rainforest and creek area located at the rear of the Ecolodge property. The owners and guests have planted hundreds of trees here to regenerate this once weed infested creek area. Use the Ecolodge self guided bush tucker booklet to discover the different types of native bush foods and nuts available in the rainforest.

 

Children’s Seek and Find

Designed specifically for children accompanied by a parent or adult.

It has been created in such a way as to stimulate children’s 5 senses and help them gain a greater sense of the natural world through their own discoveries.

The creek trail in which the activity takes place was once long ago part of a unique rainforest system.

Over the past 20 years the family, guests and staff have been regenerating it by planting hundreds of indigenous rainforest trees, shrubs and vines.

 

FLESTERING – Art Walk in the Orchard Garden

The art of discarded objects found. Are you intrigued?

Waste is something we do, not something that is.

Flestering is an attempt to render our cultural dysfunctions in whimsical ways as a means of increasing understanding and transforming our behaviour in the face of our ecological vandalism.

Enjoy our flestering walk and think about how you deal with your rubbish, your waste. What and how are you ‘wasting’ and what will you do about it?
