| AUSTRALIA - RED MILL HOUSE - QUEENSLAND
Red Mill House in Daintree Village combines the splendour of an old tropical Queenslander home built by a pioneering family and Tremaine, a tastefully designed modern addition. Red Mill House is owned and operated by two enthusiastic birdwatchers who are passionate about the area, Andrew and Trish Forsyth.
Breakfast on the verandah is a birdwatching experience in itself. The many bird species spotted include a variety of Honeyeaters, Yellow-bellied Sunbird, Mistletoe Bird and a pair of Orange-footed Scrubfowl who have made Red Mill House their home and can be seen busily tending to their nesting mound each day. You may also be joined by one of our range of resident Tree Frogs. Check the Red Mill House Bulletin Board and daily bird list for more details. We also offer suggested itineraries for birders and nature lovers. See some Surfbirds Trip Reports from this area 1 | 2 | 3
The one and a half acre tropical rainforest garden has been progressively planted over more than 50 years with a diverse range of exotic tropical plants, fruit trees and local rainforest plants. This means there is always something fruiting or flowering in the garden ensuring that the birdlife is as diverse as the plant life. Egrets and Kingfishers can often be seen feeding in our large natural pond. A large salt water pool is available for cooling off in the warmer Daintree months.
