Wildlife Walkabout is a distinctive business that specialises in walks/tours for individuals, couples or small groups. Conducted at selected sites just 90 minutes north of Brisbane on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast and adjoining hinterland, this region has recorded over 300 bird species.
Your guide Gail Hill introduces you to ‘behavioural birding’ and wildlife observation. With a focus on watching the behaviour of animals the tours are scheduled to suit you (from a few hours to a half day or full day or longer). Of course, it’s your call; special interests such as photography are catered for during the tours. We aim to meet your special needs by visiting a range of habitats.
