Wollondilly Gardens

Activities

It is easy to while away a few hours taking a leisurely stroll around the property viewing the work in progress and some of the completed projects

Many visitors find Paul's shed and workshop very interesting.  A guided tour is available on request which includes some practical demonstrations and blacksmithing.

For those who wish to laze about a variety of books,  DVD's and cd's are available.

For the not so fainthearted a climb of the mountain on the property will assure you of beautiful views of the Goomburra valley and unusual flora and fauna on the way.

Squirrel gliders,  Sugar gliders,  Ringtailed possums,  the occasional Feather glider and Phascogale can be seen after dark on many occasions.

For the avid birdwatcher there is a large variety of birds that frequent the property with at least 12 species of the parrot family seen here on a regular basis. The Wedge-tail eagle is sighted regularly while the Crested hawk  is seen more rarely.  Sometimes Tawny frogmouths, Barn owls and Barking owls are present.

Goomburra State Forest is just 5 Klms from Wollondilly Gardens.
Take your picnic lunch and go on one of the numerous walks at the forest ranging from 30 minutes up to 6 hours return through some spectacular rainforest.
