With over 100 species of birds in the area, don’t forget to pack your binoculars. Ever seen a wedge-tailed eagle soar? Now’s your chance!

Reptiles and Amphibians: The Lesser-Known Inhabitants

If you’re the adventurous type, you might find joy in spotting Boshack’s lesser-known inhabitants—its reptiles and amphibians. Though it can feel like a game of hide and seek, the reward is seeing a bobtail lizard basking in the sun or a tree frog camouflaged among the leaves. These creatures add a layer of complexity to our ecosystem that you’ll appreciate as you stroll around.

Farm Animals: A Hands-On Experience

Boshack is not just about wild animals; we have a thriving community of farm animals too. Cuddle with fluffy sheep, feed the grumpy goats, or try your hand at collecting eggs from our free-range chickens. There’s an indescribable joy in these simple farm activities that reconnect us to a slower, more grounded way of life. Your kids will love the baby animals and might find a new favourite spot on the farm.

Nightlife in the Outback

The adventure doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. As night falls, a new set of characters takes the stage. Light a campfire and let the nocturnal wildlife serenade you. The calls of the boobook owl and the rustling of nocturnal marsupials will make you feel like you’re in another world. And do keep an eye out for the elusive echidna; they often visit under the cover of darkness.

An Haven for Butterflies and Insects

While bugs might be a bother in the city, here at Boshack, they play an invaluable role. Our lush environment provides a haven for butterflies, beetles, and a myriad of other insects. You’re likely to catch sight of the spectacular Ulysses butterfly fluttering by or a praying mantis standing guard among the bushes. They may be small, but they add to the vibrant tapestry that makes Boshack special.

Encounters with Aquatic Life

Let’s not forget Lake Serene—a centrepiece of Boshack Outback home to various aquatic species. Try your hand at fishing; you might catch a glimpse of yabbies or even a freshwater turtle. Or take a canoe out onto the lake and experience the tranquillity that comes with floating on these serene waters. How many places can offer you such diverse encounters—all in one day?

The Beauty of Bioluminescence

Now, this might sound like a tale from a fairy book, but it’s true. During certain times of the year, you could witness the magical glow of bioluminescent organisms in our water sources. These natural lamps light up the environment, creating a surreal experience akin to swimming among stars. A perfect story to tell your friends back home, wouldn’t you agree?
