💜 Southern Lights watch! 💚

Could Peterborough be treated to another display like this for the next 3 nights?

The forecast shared with us suggests a chance of Aurora Australis after dark, if conditions line up. Clear skies and the right aurora activity will be needed—nature makes no guarantees!

These photos were taken right here in Peterborough. What a spectacular sight over our coastline.

Make a coastal escape of it with a stay at Peterborough House—and keep your fingers crossed for a little extra colour in the night sky.

🌸 Spring has sprung at Peterborough House!

The garden is bursting into bloom, the days are getting brighter—and Polly, our Peterborough House dog, has taken on a very important new role.

She has adopted an abandoned little duckling and is keeping a very gentle eye on her tiny new companion. 🐥🐾

It looks like spring has brought us a rather unexpected friendship!

Are you a fan of Hot Sauce???
You have probably never tried a "Fermented" Chilli Sauce.

Our Home-made Fermented Chilli Sauce is full of great flavour, with a balanced chilli kick that doesn’t overpower.

A mixture of Sweet and Spicy chillies, onion & garlic with blended pineapple added after the Fermenting process has finished makes for a delicious condiment you can add to anything.

$15 per bottle and available exclusively at Peterborough House.
Limited stock available

🐦 A rare visitor to Peterborough!

Local birdwatcher Sally has spotted and photographed a Grey Plover (*Pluvialis squatarola*), also known as the Black-bellied Plover, here in Peterborough for the very first time.

This remarkable migratory shorebird breeds in the far north of Alaska, Canada and Russia before travelling south for the northern winter. Grey Plovers are uncommon this far south in Australia—and seeing one here this early in the season is particularly exciting.

This bird is still wearing much of its striking black breeding plumage. As the season progresses, those black feathers will be replaced by a much duller grey-and-white appearance.

One of the Grey Plover’s most distinctive features is its black “armpits”, visible beneath the wings in the flight photograph. Sally has also captured it beside a Pied Oystercatcher, giving us a great comparison of their size.

We’re very lucky to have such an extraordinary visitor on the Peterborough shoreline. Please admire our shorebirds quietly and from a respectful distance.

A wonderful sighting—and beautiful photographs. Thank you, Sally!
