RAINFOREST BIRDS AND CRITTERS,

Adjinbilly is set within a bellbird colony.

A large koala colony moves throughout the gorge and may sometimes be seen in the eucalypts.

You may hear the Albert's Lyrebird calling and if you are very lucky, you may see one displaying its beautiful tail feathers in the rainforest.

Commonly seen and heard birds are - bell birds, cockatoos, satin bower birds, cat birds, king parrots, whip birds, various honey eaters, wrens, rainforest pigeons, paradise rifle birds - just to name a few.

Adjinbilly Creek is a habitat for 2 species of rare and endangered frogs. You can observe red crayfish in Adjinbilly Creek.

Fireflies are often seen after dark flickering through the trees.

The rare and endangered Brush Tailed Rock Wallaby lives on the tops of the ridges above Adjinbilly.

If you would like to learn more about the wildlife and plants at Adjinbilly, there is a library from which you can borrow during your stay, which includes colour photo books about rainforest birds, frogs, snakes, animals, plants and trees etc.

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 blue coloured items.

Processed food is not the normal native animal diet so we ask that you resist the urge to share your meals with them.

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.

'TAKE CARE'

Adjinbilly was logged some 60 years ago and as a result there are several logging tracks and trails through the rainforest. 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.

In the rainforest, you will encounter or hear a lot of rainforest animals and creatures. 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, turning them anti-clockwise, 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 Tony or Sue for help.

We have found that a good protection from ticks and leeches can be given by spraying your shoes and socks thoroughly with extra strength insect repellent, as well as your hat or hair, so make sure you bring repellent with you if going walking.

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 that includes bandages.

There are several types of plants which sting,including nettles, wild tomates and stinging trees. These can be particularly painful and should not be rubbed. Ice applied to the sting can help alleviate the pain while Stingoes/SOOV or antihistamine may be required.
