Wildflowers on Nalbarra Station
Wildflowers cover the country side from mid July to mid/late September if good winter rainfall has fallen. Be sure to call or contact us to receive wildflower touring information before departure. If the season is right you'll be sure to see carpets of everlastings, orchids, wattle/acacias, grevilleas, verticordias, mulla-mulla and so much more!
Wildlife is abundant on Nalbarra Station. Take a stroll through the country side and you'll be sure to see some of the locals. Kangaroos, emus, bungarras (sand monitors), numerous reptiles, small marsupials plus you'll no doubt bump into the odd sheep or two!
Birdlife in the outback is just remarkable. Get your binoculars out and start looking! The windmills at dawn and dusk are a great place to start as birds flock in to grab a drink. Galahs, parrots, small wrens, eagles, raptors - the list goes on!
Travel out to The Goldmine & Darn Rock one morning. We think it resembles something of a miniature Ayres Rock - but you'll have to visit and decide for yourself!
If the timing is right, head out with John to do a Windmill run. You'll be able to learn about the life of a pastorlist and the challenges faced in this harsh but beautiful country.
Bring your 4WD or just plain old hiking boots. Theses plenty to keep you busy and exploring!
