BushTracks Eco Tours
Step onto the land at Travellers Rest 1770 nestled in Agnes Water on the Southern Great Barrier Reef and feel the wild welcome you. On the BushTracks Eco Tour, nature doesn’t just surround you—it speaks, teaches, and heals. Wander through 44 acres of protected bushland in Agnes Water / 1770, where rainbow bee-eaters dart through the canopy, honeyeaters sing, and native stingless bees hum around blossoming paperbarks.
Breathe in eucalyptus-scented air that somehow resets your entire rhythm. With every step, you’re forest bathing—tuning into birdsong, the crunch of leaves underfoot, the scent of damp earth and bush herbs.
Join a Savannah Guide Enterprise tour led by Eco Certified Tour Guide and passionate local Mike. You’ll learn about bush tucker, medicinal plants and cultural knowledge of the region. Feel Country come alive through stories of ecology, fire management, and natural symbiosis.
