23.01.2022 Is that a new Ottoman I see...

23.01.2022 And this is why the house is called Wallaby Fiesta :-)

22.01.2022 The sealing of the remaining unsealed sections of Bunya Mountains Road is coming along nicely. Keep going boys!! @ Bunya Mountains - Wallaby Fiesta

22.01.2022 We hear that the butterflies are out everywhere and not just here at the mountains. However we just had to share this video of our Beautiful Bunya Mountains Butterflies that maintenance took for us yesterday....thanks Archie. Hope they put a smile on your dial, like they have for us

22.01.2022 Five things you didn’t know about Bunya pines Bunya pines are actually conifers, not pine trees. They belong to the cone-bearing Araucariaceae family, which i...s now restricted to the certain places in the southern hemisphere. They were once distributed worldwide but became extinct in the northern hemisphere towards the end of the Cretaceous period. They are the giants of the rainforest, and can grow over 40 metres tall, with a diameter of 2 metres. In the rainforest, the first branch can occur over 20 metres from the ground (making them very hard to climb!). Today, you can sometimes see the hand and foot holes made by indigenous climbers in the trunks of older Bunya pines. Having survived the era of the dinosaurs, Bunya pines are now mountain-top refugees found between Gympie and the Bunya Mountains, with a small population in North Queensland. The Bunya Mountains National Park protects the largest stand of these prehistoric relics in the world today. The timber of the Bunya pine is ideal for use in the production of acoustic musical instruments. The common name bunya comes from the many forms of the name used by indigenous people, including bonye, bunyi or bunya-bunya. See more

21.01.2022 Still some days left for booking in the next couple of months. Book now before someone else does :-) :-)

21.01.2022 It's the little things, new kitchen taps and spout.

21.01.2022 Sadly as an non-essential business, all holiday lettings through the Bunya Mountains Accommodation Centre have been cancelled from 1 April to 30 June 2020. This is disappointing news to us and I'm sure to you. It is more important for us all to win the battle against COVID-19. We can hope that you understand and continue to support us by visiting once this is all over. Stay safe Wallaby Fiesta

21.01.2022 You won’t leave Poppies on the Hill Café feeling hungry! The freshly prepared, tasty food is made on the premises, and is the perfect finish to a rainforest wal...k or bird-feeding adventure. Poppies specialises in good quality food made from fresh, local ingredients, excellent coffee and warm, friendly hospitality. You can choose to enjoy your meal or snack inside the spacious and attractive venue, or sit outside and enjoy the company of many native birds and animals (also very friendly!). There is plenty of parking, and plenty of space for couples or groups of any size. You are welcome at Poppies Café from 8.30am 4.30pm seven days a week. #thisisqueensland

20.01.2022 Some more lovely testimonials from our guests. Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Wallaby Fiesta.

20.01.2022 Such awesome news!

20.01.2022 Summer a great time to get up and watch the sunrise Predawn is a magical time to be up and about at the Bunya Mountains, and you’ll be able to catch some spec...tacular sunrises during the summertime. Pick a scenic location and take some stunning, insta-worthy photos, or just take in the fresh, crisp and clean high-altitude air and soak up the peace, beauty and tranquillity that surrounds you. Either way, you’ll start the day feeling energised, revitalised and calm. #thisisqueensland

19.01.2022 Is that a new Wallaby pic at Wallaby Fiesta... Yes it is!

17.01.2022 The kitchen at Wallaby Fiesta is sporting a shiny new rangehood. @ Bunya Mountains - Wallaby Fiesta

17.01.2022 Love the new branding!

17.01.2022 The Bunya nuts are falling! It’s Bunya nut time! We love this time of year when the bunya nuts are falling. We regularly hear a large crashing sound followed b...y a thump, which heralds a bunya cone dropping and taking out branches as it falls (it’s prudent not to park your car under bunya pines from January to April). There are piles of empty shells everywhere, as the native birds and animals enjoy the feast (and our human visitors are also enjoying the delicious bunya nut produce too!). Bunya nut time is a great time of year to see wildlife, and indulge your tastebuds be sure not to miss this iconic time of year at the Bunya Mountains. #thisisqueensland

17.01.2022 Shiny new microwave at Wally Fiesta, I reckon the original was as old as the surrounding Bunya trees!!

16.01.2022 Some more nice feedback in our guest book :-)

16.01.2022 The chocolate wattle bats have returned from their winter retreat in the Muntapa Tunnel near Peranga. The Bunya Mountains is home to Australia’s largest colony ...of these intriguing bats, which are named for the milk-chocolate brown fur on their back and belly. Station yourself near the old timber schoolhouse where the bats live in the ceiling to see them flit out for their nightly adventures and to feed on insects. You might also see them at night roosting in hollow trees around the mountain, or soaring through the dusk air in free flight. #thisisqueensland

16.01.2022 More glorious rain. Now total is 75mm. Our mountain is transformed. Thank you

16.01.2022 Bring your own sports equipment for a fun and active Bunya Mountains holiday The Bunya Mountains is perfect for a friendly game of tennis, cricket, soccer, voll...eyball or badminton. Outdoor nets are available for use, but you’ll need to bring all your other equipment for the game. The exception is tennis, with racquets and balls available to hire from the reception of the Bunya Mountains Accommodation Centre. #thisisqueensland

14.01.2022 Loving what the bushwalking trails have to offer on the mountain, allow yourself extra time to take it all in.

14.01.2022 The Scenic Circuit (2) is partially closed from July 3rd. The reason for the closure is so required maintenance on the walking track can occur. The section of the track that is closed is between Dandabah Day use area and Tim Shea Falls. Do not enter this construction zone. As a result of this track closure, the Barkers Creek Circuit is now approx. 12km circuit instead of a 10km circuit so please keep this in mind before commencing your walk. QPWS apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.

14.01.2022 When was the last time you started a fireplace?! After a long hot summer- we're cold and have the fireplaces going! Thick socks are on, wine is ready and doonah...s are back on the beds. Thinking of a short cold trip... come on up! http://www.storm247.com/#!/forecast/104770029 https://bunyamountains.com.au/

09.01.2022 More on Bunya Mountains

09.01.2022 When was the last time you got back to nature? Has it been too long since you spent some time in the great outdoors? Did you know that spending time in nature ...is one of the best ways to refresh, recharge and reconnect? Studies have shown that our stress levels fall within minutes of seeing green spaces, and our feelings of happiness and serenity increase. As well, our attention levels will increase when we come in contact with the natural environment, and feelings of anger, fatigue and depression will decrease. That’s a lot of great benefits you can experience just by getting back to nature! And the best place to do this? The Bunya Mountains of course. You’ll be able to experience the calming influence of nature in abundance at the Bunyas, when you’ll surround yourself with cool green rainforests, majestic bunya pines, eucalypt forests, spectacular sunsets and amazing views of the stars. You can bushwalk, view the scenery from the lookouts or just stand quietly in the rainforest and experience the feeling of being one with nature. You won’t be able to help feeling refreshed and revitalised it’s all part of the unique experience of the Bunya Mountains.

02.01.2022 Travel tips for the Bunya Mountains #1 Don’t park or walk under Bunya pines from January to April Bunya nut season is a wonderful time to visit the Bunya Mou...ntains but it’s prudent to avoid parking your car under Bunya pine trees during January to April. The Bunya cones are pineapple shaped and can hold up to 80 nuts, and a large cone can weigh up to 8kg! A large crashing sound followed by a thump heralds a Bunya cone dropping and taking out branches as it falls. Although most cones fall at night, it’s better to be safe than sorry. To preserve your car, make sure you park well away from Bunya trees if you’re visiting during late summer and early autumn and be careful when walking or sitting underneath the Bunya pines as well.
