Safari Activities

Wildlife Viewing

The valleys and slopes of the mountains harbour an extraordinary variety of wildlife. Eastern Grey Kangaroos, Wallaroos, Red-necked Wallabies, Wombats, Echidnas, Brushtail Possums, Platypus, Koalas, Goannas and numerous bird species are all possible sightings. Your guide brings his passion and local knowledge to bear in showing you the very best of the region.

Bush walking

The Blue Mountains provides some of the greatest bush walking territory in Australia and your guide has been traversing the area for much of his life. His passion is for the southern part of the range, which provides a variety of walking options. Easier walks include viewpoints overlooking the camp and pathways at the nearby Wombeyan Caves.   More remote and hardy treks include Bonnum Pic, Kanangra Walls and the Kowmung River.

Fishing

Our guides are fishing specialists and happy to teach anyone how to cast a line.   For the more serious fly fisherman, we can arrange access to the best trout water within a days reach of Sydney.

Canoeing

The waters of the Wollondilly River provide some gentle options for exploring the area by canoe. A canoeing trip of about 2 hours is possible from just above the camp and provides the opportunity to spot an elusive platypus.

4WD Safaris

The tracks and trails of the southern Blue Mountains are rarely visited and your guide knows them intimately. The best way to see them is by joining him on a mobile safari by Toyota Landcruiser and on foot. This is one of the few ways to visit Kanangra Walls, the Kowmung River and the old silver mining town of Yerranderie.

Heritage Tours - Yerranderie

Yerranderie is a 1,000 acre private property, effectively a private town surrounded by national park, on the Tonalli River. The French explorer, Francis Barallier camped near here when trying to find a route through the mountains but the area only came to fame in the 1890s when silver deposits were discovered here. In its heyday the township had a population of 2000 before the mines closed in 1936. Under the ownership of a remarkable lady, Val Lhuede, key buildings have been restored and maintained and the town now provides a unique insight into those early pioneering days.

Corporate Retreats

Our riverside camp site is a great place for a very different sort of corporate retreat. Although only a little over 100 kms from Sydney, the seclusion and peace of this site provides the opportunity to escape the office desk, telephone and internet. We have the basic equipment to allow for meetings to be held, brains to be stormed and creative juices to flow. The only communication with the outside is the satellite telephone.
