About Us
HISTORY
Adjinbilly, which means place on constant
water, is a unique place that is far away from the stresses
of city life, nestled into rain forest that boasts fantastic
bird life. The comment we hear most often is how quiet and
tranquil it is here at Adjinbilly.
Each cabin has its own character and theme. The cabins are
named after the original owner’s (Kim) family. Although
situated within walking distance from each other they offer
seclusion and privacy.
We hope that you enjoy your rainforest retreat, sit back
relax and unwind!
CRITTERS/CREEPIES
As you are now in the rainforest you will encounter or hear
a lot of rainforest animals. Most are harmless, but be aware
that snakes, ticks and leeches are common
place at Adjinbilly. To remove ticks place
a generous dab of Tea Tree Oil (each cabin has some under
the sink!) directly onto the tick, wait for a few seconds
and remove using the tweezers ensuring you don’t leave
behind the head. Leeches can be removed by spraying with insect
repellent. If you are unsure please come and see Julie or
Keith for help.
Snakes will leave you alone if you don’t worry them!
In case of an accident there is a first aid kit
in your cabin. There are several types of plants which sting,
including nettles, wild tomates and stinging trees,
these can be particular painful and should not be rubbed.
Stingoes or antihistamine may be required.
Several birds and forest critters will come and visit your
cabin. The satin bower bird loves anything blue and is a regular
thief, so keep an eye on your ‘blues’ Native animals
are not used to processed food so we do ask that you resist
the urge to share you meals with them.
WALKING
Adjinbilly was logged some 40 years ago
and as a result there are several logging tracks and trails
over the property. Please be aware that these tracks and trails
are not marked or graded, and require care at all times. If
exploring near the creek make sure you wear sturdy shoes as
the creek rocks and waterfalls are extremely slippery.
Condamine River Road (the road you travelled to arrive at
Adjinbilly makes for excellent walking with
spectacular views of the gorge, wildlife that includes platypus,
birds and several varieties of wallaby. The ostriches are
farmed by a local family on private property, please respect
the owner’s wishes and don’t enter into the fenced
paddocks, ostriches can be aggressive especially when mating
so be careful!
If you would like to learn more about the wildlife and plants
at Adjinbilly, Keith & Julie would love
to show you around with an interpretative walk every Sunday
morning at 9.30am. Please let us know if you are coming!
If you would like to try a more challenging walk or adventure
there are graded walks at Queen Mary Falls about 15mins drive.
Mt Superbus boasts its own plane wreck with Lizard Point and
Wilson’s Peak offering fantastic views. Guided walks
to these areas can be arranged from $25 per person.
