Atherton Tablelands Birdwatching
Barking Owl Retreat Birdwatching

Enjoy Atherton Tablelands Birdwatching at Barking Owl Retreat.
Wake to the sound of birds and relax to their songs all day long. Native Birds and Owls are attracted to the blue gum trees in the gully alongside the cottages, and as well as our landscaped native bushes and trees. Not only could you get the chance to possibly hear a Barking Owl you can also try to catch some of these wonderful birds on camera.
