BOX-IRONBARK BIRDING
Nagambie
Birding and Eco-Tours
Our Services
Whilst birds are the main focus of our tours, we always spend some time on general natural history issues as well as conservation and management issues.
​
As our tours are directed at small groups, they can be tailored to suit the aims and particular interests of each group. Ad hoc tours are also offered at particular times when there is an interesting local event such as viewing a rare or vagrant species or a breeding event.

ABOUT US
Offering the best of Box-Ironbark birding and just 2 hours easy drive north of Melbourne on a 257 ha (635 acres) Trust For Nature covenanted property, we specialise in providing fully equipped guided bird and natural history tours.
​
The property is located 16km west of Nagambie and abuts the 12,800 ha Heathcote - Graytown National Park. It presents fantastic bird-watching opportunities through its accessibility and wide variety of habitats.
​
The property features magnificent stands of old Grey Grass Trees and the winter flowering Red Ironbarks provide sustenance for many birds and animals, including Swift Parrots, Sugar Gliders and a multitude of Honeyeaters. Resident mammals and reptiles include Eastern Grey Kangaroo, Black Wallaby, Yellow-footed Antechinus, Sand and Tree Goannas, Echidna and Brush-tailed Phascogales.
​
The property's variety of habitats allow for thriving populations of many of the signature Box-Ironbark species, many of whose overall populations are in serious decline, such as Southern Whiteface, Diamond Firetail and Hooded Robin. The total bird list exceeds 170 species and it is possible to sight up to half of these during a stay.
