Birdwatching
day-tour
Southeast
Queensland
is one of the richest regions of Australia in
terms of bird species. Every raptor of Australia and around half of all
Australian bird species has at some time been seen here. Many southern
species reach their northern limits here and many northern species
reach
their southern limits here or just below the border, and there are a
few species that are found only in the border regions. Summer and
winter migrants and nomadic species add to the diversity.
Our
usual
destination is Lamington National Park, with a brief
visit to wetlands

Rainforests,
glow
worms
and
wine
day-tour
The
largest colony of
glow worms in the world is not in a national
park or even a genuine cave, but in a very well-designed artificial
cave, the purpose of which is to take pressure off the natural
populations in caves
that have been over-exploited by a constant stream of thousands of
visitors. Rainforests, eucalypt forests,
waterfalls, wine-tasting and a delicious lunch overlooking landscaped
gardens add to the day's experience, and you can let us know if you
would like to pay a little extra and visit other interesting venues in
the district ...

Coochiemudlo
Island day-tour
This
pretty
little island is
just a few minutes by ferry from Brisbane's coast. Long stretches of
quiet
sandy beach, rocky headlands, red cliffs that give the island its name
and were well-used by the Aboriginals, mangroves, coastal woodland,
eagles, stone-curlews, honeyeaters, soldier crabs, molluscs,
butterflies, and native hibiscus are just a few of the natural delights
we
find as we wander at a gentle pace around the island's perimeter.

Bushwalking
in Brisbane day-tour
Bushwalking
in a
city?
Brisbane's
suburbs have spread ever outwards, often at the expense of
the natural environment. However, there are still large tracts of
forest and wetlands that have been protected by local or state
government, with many fine walking trails through a variety of open
forests and wetlands.
Our
emphasis is
mostly on gentle walks, stopping to look at flowers,
insects, birds and whatever else may turn up along the way. If
you like a long energetic hike, that's fine too - just let us
know when you make your booking
