This tour is made for you if you like to explore the rainforest without the crowds. Bellthorpe Stays is 400 private acres high in the hinterland hills at Bellthorpe. The property has numerous walking tracks, waterfalls, and a great variety of birds and wildlife. Normally, day visitors are not permitted, but Brisbane Nature Tours have secured private access to enjoy the property for the morning. Walk the Rainforest Track with its strangler figs, tall buttress trees, vines, and ferns. The birdlife is abundant at Bellthorpe Stays. See or hear the Regent Bowerbird, Wompoo Fruit-Dove, Catbird, Noisy Pitta, Riflebird, Rose Crowne Fruit Dove, King Parrot, and many others smaller birds like Honey Eaters. Meeting the wildlife is by chance, but usually, the prospects are good. Wildlife such as the Richmond Birdwing butterfly, Marbled Frogmouth, Giant Barred Frog, Wallaby, Koala, Echidna, Land Mullet, and the Goanna can be found on the property. After a cuppa at the Resource Centre, head up to Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, enjoy lunch at the café (own expense). After lunch, visit the Visitor Information Centre and take a short rainforest walk in the Reserve.~~~~ |
