Free Guest Activities
While you can just totally relax and do nothing at Midginbil Hill, there are a range of FREE activities available to all guests, including swimming, tennis, bush walking, orienteering and bird watching (maps and bird list provided).
On a quiet early morning or late afternoon walk, you're sure to spot many wallabies, often with a "joey" in the pouch.
Or take along our bird watching list, and see how many species you can catch sight of. You might even add 1 or 2 to your life list!
Report Echidna sightings for our monitoring project or help out with our rainforest regeneration planting program as part of our ecotourism activities.
Photographers and artists will find plenty of inspiration in our stunning location nestled beneath the World Heritage listed Nightcap National Park.
And if you like angling for your supper, there is a range of recreational fishing opportunities.
