Birds of Panorama

 In 1992 the venue was acquired by the Farman family. They were keen to attract more birdlife by planting hundreds of flowering native trees – waratahs, proteas and banksias. Today this plan has been a spectacular success with abundant flowering trees numerous species of native birds throughout the property.

Two things become apparent when you wander in our extensive Panorama Retreat & Resort gardens and the nearby forest. Tranquility. And the birds.

These beautiful birds have been photographed on the property or nearby. Local birds feeding from and enjoying the carefully chosen flowering species added to the gardens over the last 20 years.

There are many gorgeous species to be found, each with their own distinctive call. The early morning carolling of the resident magpies. The dee-dee-dee-ah-WHIT of the colourful Golden Whistler. The pleasant and softly rasping of the rainbow lorikeets. And, of course, the ever-present chock, kok, kak-kak-KAK-KAK-kook-kook, kok of the friendly laughing kookaburra.

It’s all there for you. Enjoy.
