Welcome to the first news reports from Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat

It has been nearly 3 years since Cyclone Larry hit the area and this wet season has seent  the rainforest explode with fruit and flower. Consequently  there has been an abundance of insects emerging such as the Hercules Moth, the largest moth in the world. Many of these moths have been flying into reception in the last few weeks. Spectacled flying foxes are devouring the nectar of the quondong tree flowers. We have collected over 50  different native rainforest fruit species to propogate in our new rainforest nursery. Presently we have nearly 14,000 trees in small pots ready for the next planting season.  Guests are very welcome to wonder through our nursery and even take a tree home with them.
