After a wonderful trial run last week with Goldrush Ballooning things are looking good for Balloon tours in winter next year.

Winter Rain…We Are Green!

A view of Rawnsley Bluff taken today. We have had several rain events over the last 2 months. Not enough to start the creeks running but plenty to bring on the best winter growth we’ve seen for several years. Everything is lovely and green and the wildlife is busy breeding all over the place! Time to start planning your next Flinders escape.

Winter Rain…First Emu Chicks!

Most birds in the Flinders breed during winter. This Winter is shaping up as the best for several years and all wildlife seems to be taking advantage. Emu pairs are a common sight and 2 days ago we saw the first emu chicks for the season.

A young male Fairy Wren begins to “colour up” for the breeding season.

Winter Rain…Senna

timtyler — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 06:00:04 +0000

Already the rain has allowed some of the plants here to flower. The Native Hop Bush and the Senna have started. Soon the wattle will follow. Then, if we have just one or two further rain events, we may even see some wild flowers appearing. Now is a good time to be thinking about heading up here!

As part of our committment to keeping the Eco in Eco Villa we have just installed a solar power generating plant. It generates around 9kW of power up to 60kW hours per day. In other words enough to cover the 8 Eco Villas.
