Natural Environment

the nature of Couria Creek

Couria Creek is a haven for those who adore nature. From the moment the first sunrays filter through the trees and the early morning mists rise up from the paddocks, the chime of the Bellbirds and the sounds of nature fill the air.

Colourful parrots awake and dart about - a new day has begun.

a healthy environment

Couria Creek is rich in flora with delicate wildflowers blooming through late Winter and Spring.

Intriguing fungi and lichen are prolific after rain but you need to keep a watch out for these, or you may step on them.

Lichen requires clean air to thrive, so this is evidence of a healthy environment.

fungi

bird & wildlife

Large stands of eucalypt remain on the property with Ironbark, Stringybark, Mahogany, Yellow Box and Mountain Ash all providing habitat for many of the 95 bird species (• see the complete bird list for local area) and also local fauna.

Wildlife is abundant with possums, kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and large goannas often wandering through.

Water dragons may also scurry into the creek if disturbed - while wood ducks drift across the dam.

natural experience

As the day ends with a brilliant sunset and the birds are now silent, the only sound is the distant croaking of frogs along the creek.

This is the natural experience of Couria Creek and Summercloud Cottage.
