climb the hill behind the Homestead for glorious panoramic views of the
Valley and rainforest gullies. For the not-so-energetic, your hosts will
be happy to 4WD you to the top to enjoy the vista.
Take an easy stroll through shady mango orchards
during the season and handpick yourself some tree-ripened Bowen
mangoes. Take a peek at our Photo Gallery and you will see pics of some
of the bird and wildlife that you may encounter as you wander.
Picnic at Amamoor Creek State
Forest Park, the rainforest area of Cedar Grove or Amama Park, where you
may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the platypus at play. Stroll
along bushwalking tracks with sub-tropical vegetation and waterfalls.

diverse grazing and agricultural activities that abound, including
pineapples, macadamias, mangoes, citrus, avocados and small crops.
