The Tours
 
Alan's guests experience the rainforest and surrounding country side with informative commentary.
On one of his tours you can get up close and personal with rare and magical creatures. Huge trees and lithesome lianas of the dark forest contrast with the open spaces of the lakes and savannah. Rolling hills and agricultural land add to the scenic splendour.
 

In eight hours of birding you can expect to see eighty species of birds. Fewer may be seen if time is spent chasing the rare ones. Most of the endemics are not difficult to find. See the bird list for what occurs on the Tablelands.

 
By doing the full day Naturalist Tour plus Nocturnal Tour you can expect four to five species of kangaroo, platypus, two possum species, butterflies and fifty different birds in a variety of habitats.
 
Educational tours are best tailored to the skill level and objectives of your group. Email or ring +61 7 4095 3784 Alan to arrange for a varied program of action learning.

This three day tour will not only provide a wonderful introduction to the spectacular birds of the Wet Tropics and adjacent savannah but the mammals and scenery besides.

From stately Sarus Cranes and Cassowaries to Golden Bowerbirds see the birds and have their behaviours recounted. It is anticipated that about 200 birds, platypus, 5 macropods and 6 possum species will be encountered.

Lead by Alan Gillanders, one of the north's renowned naturalists, you will learn about the land from the ground up. Photographic opportunities will abound.
