6 Day Snowy River & Errinundra Explorer Tour
Graded: VERY EASY

Fully accommodated.
Touring with lots of short easy nature walks.

Combine remote and rugged beauty with the home comforts of cabin accommodation and great country hospitality. The magnificent Snowy River National Park boasts some of Victoria's most breathtaking scenery - waterfalls, vast rugged gorges and endless mountain views.

In contrast, travelling through Errinundra National Park, you will feel dwarfed by the immense trees of the old-growth eucalypt forests and enjoy an easy boardwalk through ancient cool-temperate rainforest with ferns and moss festooned logs.

High on the Errinundra Plateau, the treetops are often shrouded in mountain mist, creating an atmosphere of its own.

6 nights accommodation
Easy Walks

Birdwatching, spring wildflowers, long white sandy beaches, rock pools, heathland and rainforest, what more could you want? If you think you'd also like a good mixture of short walks and some relaxing time to just enjoy your surroundings, then this is exactly what this ecotour offers.

Croajingolong National Park in far East Gippsland with it’s magnificent wilderness coastline and undisturbed forested foothills is home to a vast array of indigenous plants and animals. Birdwatching is excellent with not only bush birds, but also waders and seabirds.

A week of dedicated birdwatching in a fantastic habitat with magnificent rugged Snowy River scenery and some very interesting bird species. 

What more could a birdwatcher ask for?  Perhaps a comfy bed at night?  Yes this trip is fully accommodated too!

The Snowy River Valley supports a unique vegetation type comprising mainly open white box woodland on the dry slopes. 

This habitat is home to many woodland birds, some of whom are in decline in other areas.  In addition we birdwatch along the Snowy River near McKillops Bridge and along it’s tributaries such as the Suggan Buggan and Deddick Rivers.

Some of the species regularly seen include Diamond Firetail, Brown Tree-creeper, Golden & rufous Whistler, White-winged Chough, Spotted Pardalote, Satin Flycatcher and White-browed Woodswallow. 

Add interesting summer visitors such as the Olive-backed Oriole, Rainbow Bee-eater, Noisy Friarbird and White-winged Triller.

The days are leisurely.  An early start to enjoy the morning birding perhaps strolling along a riverside track or between the woodland and the cleared paddocks. 

Then when the birds quieten down in the middle of the day, so do we.  Retreating to the shady verandah of “Kurrajong” our home away from home, or a hammock between the fruit trees.  A swimming hole in the Deddick River nearby is perfect for a lazy swim.
