Birdwatching Trail

Suggested duration 5 - 7 hours.

For avid birdwatchers, or anyone looking for an excuse for a relaxing drive through our region, there are several prime spots to see any of the wide range of native birds we host in Greater Hume.

These locations form a rough loop; start and end at any point convenient to you.

The total loop takes a little under 3 hours to drive. Add time for stops along the way to spot birds. Since you’re travelling through the region’s biggest towns, there’s easy access to food and rest stops along the way. For a small-town experience, try the pub meals at Burrumbuttock, Culcairn, Henty, Holbrook, Jindera, Walla Walla, Walbundrie or Woomargama.

You could also break your trip up over a couple of days to take advantage of early morning and dusk avian activity.
