Why I love visiting the Western Treatment Plant

Nov 16, 2019 | Bird News, Guide Diaries

by Janine Duffy A pair of Brolga – Australia’s native crane – herd their vulnerable chick through the sedge swamp. The chick stands as tall as a 4 year old child, but still can’t fly, so the parents are cautious. Suddenly, a large brown bird erupts from the sedge,...

Amazing fun-filled day in The Bush

Where to begin?! Such an incredible time! We saw a mama koala holding a baby. Then we went out in the bush and must have seen 100 kangaroos! I would definitely recommend this tour!

The respect of the animals they have makes this

This was the highlight of my visit to Australia. I am a big animal lover and this does not disappoint. Dan our guide was the best. I love shooting photos of wildlife in the wild running free ..as it should be. We got to see Kangaroos, possum, birds and Koalas.

3 d Great Ocean Road: The highlight of our trip to Australia

The highlight of our trip to AU was this three day tour. The company, Echidna Walkabout Nature Tours, has a strong investment in the area and is directly responsible for koala protection and identification. BUT, beyond the organization itself, our three day tour with Brett and Dan was exceptional.

Koalas & Kangaroos: Une journée incroyable in the wild

Une journée passée avec notre guide Michael dans une forêt d’Eucalyptus à 45’ de Melbourne. Incroyable! Les senteurs d’Eucalyptus nous restent en mémoire une semaine après; Nous voulions voir des animaux typiques de l’Australie, nous avons été servi! Ne ratez pas cela lors de votre visite à Melbourne!!!
Translated: A day spent with our guide Michael in a Eucalyptus forest 45 minutes from Melbourne. Unbelievable! The scents of eucalyptus we remain in memory a week after; We wanted to see typical animals of Australia, we were served! Do not miss this when visiting Melbourne !!!

Koalas & Kangaroos: Amazing day!

What an amazing day! Our guide Brett was amazing. We saw over 100 kangaroos! He knew how to approach them, described their body language/behavior very well. I would definitely recommend this company and tour and Brett!

Koalas & Kangaroos: a real connection to the environment

The company has a real connection to the preservation of the environment, a fantastic bonus for us. We were excited to help out whenever we weren’t finding koalas in the trees. I was impressed that they were able to communicate with the koala database and tell us exactly which koala we were looking at up in the tree.

Koalas & Kangaroos: Highlight of our trip

The best part of the day was being with the wild kangaroos. Our guide was wonderful at instructing us to move quietly and slowly which allowed us to observe the kangaroos as they relaxed, grazed or hopped around. It was a highlight of our trip.

Koalas & Kangaroos: A must-do

This is a must-do. Echidna Walkabout studies koalas in their natural environment and has a lot to teach us about how koalas and other wildlife should be treated. My daughters and I really enjoyed the day.
