Hi from sunny Margaret River the birdlife is in full swing with all parent being very busy feeding their young offspring.
I have even seen the beautiful Splendid Blue Wren’s with some of their young just as you see on the postcards!
What treat.
The Yellow Robins are getting very friendly and love feeding on bugs around the spa chalets, a very eco friendly pest control method.
The 28 Parrots or know as Port Lincoln’s are funny as they love to boss each other around whilst the quite ones sneak in a get a feed. The only difference between the male and female is the bright red ridge just above the males beak. In this species the female is as pretty as the male for a change.
Over 50+ species of birds have currently been recorded at Yelverton Brook Eco Spa Retreat & Conservation Sanctuary, in each chalet is a Bird field guide book to help you identify the birds and hopefully record any new species.
Come and stay with us and help find & record some new species to the list. There is a list of recorded birds on our website at Yelverton Brook Birdlist
It is a really good birdwatching area with the Wonnerup Wetlands nearby which are Ramsar Listed and offer world class birdwatching here in Western Australia.
Google Alerts are a great thing, just received this link about a couple who recently enjoyed a Romantic Package at Yelverton Brook last week.
Check this link out to see what they thought about us.
Obviously enjoyed the very friendly wildlife right on their doorstep.
Here is the Link – From Live Journal Plus they mention great places to visit like Cape Lavender, Bushshack Brewery.
Enjoy…..
Possums love eating yummy bananas that clients offer them whilst staying at Yelverton Brook Eco Spa Retreat & Conservation Sanctuary.
They enjoy the special Possum pellets but prefer banana, the Kangaroos seem to love the banana skin before the actual banana but Possums love the yellow soft squishy stuff inside like us humans.
Please see some of the pictures below-
Well the evidence is clear to see, the Woylie’s favourite food is Truffles and fungi like mushrooms and toadstools are pretty close.
On walking around the 100 ac sanctuary yesterday morning with the wet, damp weather the fungi is loving this type of weather. The Woylies seem to nibble some tops, the bottom of some stalks pulling them out of the ground and laying them on their sides. Some look they must taste really good as they are heavily eaten.
Most of the fungi seen so far is closer to the creek line area, offering a damper environment. With many colours of the rainbow with pale frilly white, soft fawns, yellows, curry yellows to large puff balls…..a fantastic variety on offer for a hungry critter!
Check out our Photo Gallery on Fungi found at Yelverton Brook Eco Spa Retreat.
Joy learnt about these fascinating plants whilst learning to be a Kings Park Guide many years ago. They had a great speaker who shared his passion about these unique flora.
A great idea to check out with fantastic freebies on offer for a short time.

Aaron and Tricia both dreamed of running their own
profitable, stay-at-home Internet businesses.
Both took the plunge. Even though they each had very little
start-up cash, next to no computer skills, and zero Internet
marketing experience.
Within months, Aaron was making a 5-figure MONTHLY income,
and driving around town in his “dream car” — a Mercedes-Benz!
… Meanwhile, Tricia is still struggling, trying to figure
out what works through painful trial and error.
What’s Aaron’s secret?

Stakeholder and community involvement and education –
All chalets have “Wildlife Journals” for clients to record fauna sightings which offer an invaluable insight into movements of fauna around the chalets and walk trails. They offer great input from their clients into their conservation work.
Also clients are encouraged to email fauna pictures to be placed in the website in a special “Guests Photo Gallery”.
Yelverton Brook is offering the area to school & tertiary students for research projects with this unique site secure from predators. Studies into our diverse frog population are also on the agenda & need cataloguing. They are registered with Frogs Australia and listed on their website. They have been working closely with Earth Sanctuaries in SA. They offered an educational visit to the Ecotourism students from Edith Cowan Bunbury campus twice for a real working site for inspection. Joy Ensor lectured on Ecotourism for students studying at Edith Cowan University in Joondalup Campus in Perth in Aug ’05.
They are also members of “Land for Wildlife” run by DEC.
Conservation Week WA 2005 was supported by Yelverton Brook and made aware their local tourist bureaus of this event.

Quote – 2002- 2006 – The Busselton Agricultural Show – On behalf of the President and committee of this society I thank you sincerely for your sponsorship of a trophy for the “Fauna Carers Award” in the Busselton Show.
Cultural considerations – is offering the property to the local indigenous aboriginal people to run bush tucker tours through the property, plus building a close working relationship with the local Warden Centre.
The Ensor’s are committed Christians and believe in helping their local community, they are only caretakers of this precious land.
A short time ago we took mother out for a drive to their old farm in Willyabrup which now is the home of Flutes Restaurant and Brookland Valley Vineyard.
The cafe/restaurant is situated over looking the Willyabrup River and a large dam come lake on it. Have a look at the pics below.
Offering beautiful gardens, great food, notice the Peter Pan in the family picture on the right hand side. A popular place for special events, birthdays and weddings.
When the Ensor’s owned it was a 1,000 ac farm stretching from Caves Road to the coast. A most beautiful place with an 80′ gorge country section along the river cutting through granite. They put the local Marron into the lake which grow to a fair size in this large body of water.
Even a great quick stop for a wine tasting or afternoon tea, the Devonshire tea is great.
Imagine the Ensor kids swimming in the dam, surfing the dam using the old beetle (car) with a very long rope………or being towed around by their farm dog who enjoyed a swim in the dam.
Definitely worth a visit whilst staying at Yelverton Brook Eco Spa Retreat & Conservation Sanctuary near Margaret River in Western Australia. A most beautiful region for fine wine and dining options.
