Greeted by the managers and the animals. Beautiful scenery; it must be gorgeous in the wet season. A horse visited us; the turkey called Goose caught up with us. We did a couple of bush walks - beautiful weather. Cool breezes under the large shady trees.

We only spent the night at Big Rocks bush retreat but wished we stayed longer. It was such a peaceful place to stay and the stars at night were amazing. We will definitely be back.
