How much time?
We recommend 2 hours to half a day but you can cover a lot in just over an hour.

Do we need a guide to walk the trails ?
No. The trails are self-guided with hundred's of signs about rainforest species along the way for you to stop & read. We also give groups our special Rainforest Secrets Presentation to inform visitors.

How difficult are the walks ?
Quite easy for the average person. The distances are 100's of metres not kilometres. The 3 main rainforest trails are gravel but mostly gentle slopes. The Regeneration trail has a few steps. Good walking shoes are required.

Can we pick & eat any of the fruit straight off the rainforest trees?
Not really. Rainforest Secrets is an 'enhanced' rainforest experience with interesting flora highlighted in their natural state. Bush foods are not really 'table fruits' (with the exception of Macadamia Nuts). Similar to Ginger, Garlic or Olives the fruits have to be processed to fully utilise their flavour. For example, Davidson's Plums are sour but make great jam. Lemon Myrtle leaf is a great spice. Some bush food species are also toxic when raw & were specially treated by aborigines to be eaten. If you don't know what the wild fruit is don't eat it!

If it rains won't we get wet ?
No. We can lend you a courtesy umbrella.

How big is the whole property ?
80 hectare (200 acre).

Do you cater for groups?
Yes. We have special packages for Schools, Social & Coach Groups.

Do you accept credit cards?
Yes. We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Bankcard, Amex, Diners Club, JCB) as well as EFTPOS & travellers cheques.
