21.01.2022 And where do our mentors and course helpers of Bird Language 2020 go after a dedicated and tireless week of helping out - to their roosts of course - and what beautiful, unique and special birds they are!! #birdlanguage #treeclimbing #mentoring #visitnsw #visitdungog @dungogregionaltourism

21.01.2022 The mentors and Andrew Turbill have spent the last few days here preparing for the Bird Language and Nature Connection Retreat. Sold out and already planning for next year. I love working with these folks! Managed to get in a game of water-frisbee at Figtree pool too! #birdlanguage #birdbehavior #natureconnectionretreats #birdlifeaustralia #wangatlodge #retreats #workshop #frisbee

18.01.2022 During our Bird Language and Nature Connection Retreat one of our guests found this Tawny frogmouth chic, fallen from its perch. We managed to get it back to a branch and parents took interest. Hoping it will make it! #birdlanguage #wildliferescue #wangatlodge #wangatevents

12.01.2022 This is the first mini-outdoor-ed camp I have run at Wangat and we loved it! 3 wonderful mothers and 5 daughters, hiked, whittled, climbed trees, cooked damper, made fire from friction, went frogging, rock-hopped, jumped off water falls, and connected with each other whilst growing their inner selves. Guiding these young woman filled my cup with joy and hope. They showed bravery, kindness, vulnerability and ability to overcome with support from each other. Our bespoke outdoor... ed mini camps are for all who want to challenge themselves, connect with nature and have a lot of fun. Contact us for details. We are a solution to the lack of these opportunities for kids to be empowered, brave, and wild. Thank you mum's and daughters. You rock!! #outdooreducation #outdoorsnsw #wildkids #bravegirls #whittling #swimmingholes #natureconnection #wangatlodge #visitnsw #exploredungog #familynatureconnection See more

09.01.2022 Enjoying Xmas drinks for @ridedungog at the Bank Hotel. L-R, Rob from @tempestbicycles with James Felton-Taylor from Australian Sustainable Timbers sporting the Tempest T. And the boys from @eastcoastmountaintrails, Mat and Josh. The bravery and hard work of these guys as business entrepreneurs exemplifies the confidence and positivity that mountain bike development has brought to Dungog. Personally and as a local Dungog business, I strongly support the vision and initiatives... of @ridedungog who have massively increased the joy of living here, and are playing a role in Dungog becoming the outdoors capital of the Hunter Region and the best hinterland town in NSW. The quality and variety of shops and cafes on Dowling St has rocketed! Look at @dungog_runner @sassafrasdungog @tinshedbrewery_dungog @megskitchen.dungog @royalhoteldungog @stellabistrodungog @hive_and_gobbler @themagpie.dungog @galleryondowling @atyiayias @tempestbicycles @chicandantique_ @billie_and_grace @theflowershopdungog @inspiredbydesign.australia @explore_dungog @dungog_local_growers not to mention our many loved favourites! All this has created a vibrant and joyful main Street where locals and visitors connect. Ideas and initiatives bloom. Our guests constantly comment how much they are loving and appreciating the street scape. Let's keep the momentum going. #communitylove #communityinitiative #mountainbikes #wangatlodge #visitdungog #visitnsw #tourismdungog #exploredungog See more

08.01.2022 From river to ocean. A well deserved beach getaway for my beautiful wife and I. Happy birthday Verity. Happy 3 year wedding anniversary! You are my fave journey partner and soul mate and without you our wonderful Wangat journey would never be.

08.01.2022 This is the view from our dining table. A bird bath brings so much magic from moment to moment. Today, as I sat doing my emailing, I watched a family of noisy friar birds playing, yellow faced, white naped, scarlet and Lewin's honeyeaters, king parrots, wattle birds, silver eyes and here a vid of our gorgeous resident male superb fairy Wren, all visit for a drink, a splash and all uniquely in their own style. The kindest thing we can offer our backyard birds is foraging plants and a bird bath. I got this magnificent copper bird bath from our friends @mallee_design. We have their giant ones at the Lodge and are much loved by the birds! #birdlanguage #birdbehavior #birdwatching #birdbath #ecology #ecotourism #wangatlodge
