Wildlife
Mountain Valley is a sanctuary for wildlife. To preserve their habitat this 61h property is registered with National Parks and Wildlife under their 'Land for Wildlife' scheme. This lost valley is home to many species of birds from tiny wrens to the magnificent wedge tail eagle and the white goss hawk. Interpretive tours are taken at dusk to show you the Platypus as they forage for food in the still pools of the pristine river. After dark the wildlife  emerge from the forest to  feed at your cabin. You will be visited at your door by wallabies (Pademelon), brushtail possums, quolls and Tasmanian devils.
