“Louise and Michael have a beautiful property to visit for all things Mallee; birds, animals, vegetation and ecology. As a bird photographer I found their property to be a perfect base and place to stay for easy access to the broader Mallee region and the associated national parks (Hattah-Kulkyne, Murray Sunset and Wyperfeld) and reserves (Bronzewing, Wathe, Annuello and Lake Tyrrell). Their property is also fantastic for seeing birds and photographing them, with several water points and hides setup for controlled photography. My visits have realised dozens of species, with an exciting lifer of seeing and photographing the Purple-gaped Honeyeater. I would recommend their property as the number 1 place to visit for birders and photographers in the Mallee.”
