Ecotourism guidelines

Wildlife comes first at Stirling Range Retreat

Sorry, no cats or dogs allowed. We are creating a safe bush retreat for birds and native animals.
Campfires? Sorry no. Communal braziers Yes! Bake jacket potatoes and toast marshmallows. Guests are welcome to light these from May to September. Free mill ends are provided by the Retreat. To maintain bio-diversity leaf litter and fallen tree debris must not be disturbed.
Thank you for helping to keep green areas green. To prevent destruction of orchid beds and all fragile ground cover, well pounded Kangaroo trails and designated paths are marked for exploring the Retreat precinct, visiting friends, the National Park, and Café. Basically we are establishing separate human areas and green areas to create an eco park for your children's grandchildren. Thank you for using Retreat roadways, firebreaks and marked trails whilst out and about.
We are members of the following groups
- Land for Wildlife
- Birds Australia
- Frog Watch
- Malleefowl Preservation Group
