Victoria's new birdwatching tour
Birdwatchers, and you'd be surprised how many there are among visitors to Australia, are now given the opportunity to explore the sights and sounds of the Geelong Otway Region on a new ecotour that focuses on the diverse and remarkable birdlife of the area.
Catering for small groups, Go Birding Tours offers a variety of day tours for birdwatchers who are keen to experience the widely diverse habitats of the area and observe the local wildlife.
What makes this tour so attractive for birdwatchers (or any eco-minded visitor) is that more than 300 different bird species have been recorded in this region, which begins just a one hour’s drive south west of Melbourne and includes the Bellarine Peninsula, Great Ocean Road, the Otways, and Brisbane Ranges region.
Tour guide Barry Lingham has lived on the Bellarine Peninsula for 20 years and has a wide knowledge of the fauna and flora of southern Victoria. He enjoys sharing his passion for bird watching with visitors to the area.
Catering for small groups of up to six people, the tours are conducted from a 4WD mini van and stop at key birdwatching areas along the way including: the wet forests of the Otways Ranges and Great Ocean Road; the coastal floral heathlands of the Surf Coast; the dry forests of the Brisbane Ranges and areas north of Geelong; and the Ramsar listed wetlands of the Bellarine Peninsula.
Go Birding operates out of a place called Ocean Grove, but will pick up guests within 30 kilometres of Geelong, which is the second largest city in Victoria, some 75 kilometres from Melbourne.
