Wildlife and Birdlife

The peace and serenity of Wooleen attract hundreds of species.

Most can be watched from a distance. Some can be seen at very close range!

Sit in our bird hides for the afternoon. You won't be disappointed

The country comes to life with lizards and bungarras sunbaking on the rocks.

Majestic kangaroos, seen in motion in their hundreds are the most beautiful animals in the world.

And emus, probably the funniest looking animals ever to run 60km/hr.

Never watched these animals on their own territory? It's probably about time you did.

Hawks, eagles, exotic parrots and bower birds, the birdlife at Wooleen is remarkable. Because of the mulga's height, the birds are low enough to see at close range.

There aren't many sources of water on the property so at dawn and dusk they all flock to the windmills and waterholes. Thousands and thousands.

Birds Australia Western Australia Inc put together a list of the Birds of Wooleen Station [PDF]. Which you can download and bring along before you arrive.
