At the entrance of our property the hunters, missionaries, photographers and explorers of yesteryear have been remembered and honoured with a rock wall and genuine refurbished wagon wheel dating back from that period. A stop there to reflect on the past is well worth the time. The varied habitat of the property, riverine/woodlands & acacia scrub, account for a variety of bird species which can be seen & heard. From the grunting hoots of the Giant Eagle Owl, the enchanting shrill call of the Woodland Kingfisher (after whom we're named), to the fluted notes of the elusive Crimson Breasted Shrike!
