Activities and Attractions.

 



Abundant wildlife

Birds, animals and to a lesser extent, wildflowers are a feature of the property. Brindabella Station is bounded on three sides by national parks. Parrots, galahs, cockatoos, kookaburras, eagles and wrens as well as such water birds as herons, cranes, swans and various wild duck abound. Native animals mainly marsupials such as kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, possums and even less active ones such as echidna and platypus can be found within the valley. Kangaroos are seen on the property in the late afternoons and early mornings.

Note: guests driving themselves to Brindabella should exercise care on the Brindabella Road particularly mornings and evenings as many Australian animals will be on or near the road at these times.

Trout Fishing

The Goodradigbee river is a superb trout stream.

   
 

Bushwalking

On established trails on the farm, within the valley or further afield in the high country. Consisting of short medium and long duration. Perhaps guests would like a quiet stroll along the river and to other places of interest. Most do!! We have established two main walking trails around the property:

1. 90 - 120 minutes
2. 4 hours (approximately) There are numerous other places to walk and stroll on and off the property.

   
  Canoeing.

Suited to all tastes from the large tranquil pool below the Homestead to runs of several hours duration through rapids of medium status. (The same section of river is used by the Outward Bound Movement).
