SUNSHINE COAST, Australia - AussieJournal -- The Sunshine Coast offers some wonderful experiences for those looking to refresh themselves. Stay in a luxurious cabin for comfort and then open yourself up to these varied natural moments.

Bird Life in Witta

One of the first things guests notice when they arrive is the birdlife. The trees are full of colour and song — kookaburras call out at dawn and dusk, while rosellas, tawny frogmouths, and the distinctive cry of black cockatoos add to the soundscape. As night falls, the gentle call of a Boobook owl can sometimes be heard in the stillness. Down by the creek, native ducks with their ducklings are a familiar sight, paddling lazily along or resting on the banks.

Furry Friends

Witta is also home to some of Australia's more elusive wildlife. From time to time, echidnas can be seen wandering through the grounds, while after dark, brushtail and ringtail possums emerge into the trees. Wallabies often linger in the nearby bush but will sometimes venture closer, hopping up to the cabin as if to say hello.

Finding Elusive Creatures

On bushwalks in Maleny, a little luck and quiet patience may reward you with the rare and magical sight of a platypus gliding through the water at dawn or dusk.

Keep Your Eyes Open

Our grounds and surrounding bushland are teeming with even more native creatures. Goannas and bearded dragons sometimes bask on rocks and logs in the sun, while blue-tongue lizards are often found in bushy or grassy corners. At dusk, sugar gliders may sweep silently from tree to tree, and bandicoots forage quietly under the cover of night. Pademelons graze at the edges of the forest, and in the warmer months, the air is alive with butterflies and dragonflies flitting among the wildflowers.
