BushTracks Eco Walking Tour Agnes Water / 1770

What an amazing morning! Right from the start we were warmly welcomed by Mike's partner Michi and young family on arrival at their eco campground ( Travellers Rest 1770). Mike's guided interactive 2 hour boardwalk tour through his ecological 'showroom',encompassed everything he is fiercely passionate about within his own flora and fauna ecosystem, and delivered in an easy to grasp manner, by an easy to like bloke! Even if this is not your usual type of tour,you will not be bored, and will come away learning so much more about the natural environment you live within. The 'come and taste' session during the tour was also another great learning experience!nWe thoroughly recommend adding this tour or a stay on the campground, to your 'must do's' when coming to Agnes Water/1770.

I recently just spent two weeks at the beautiful property in which Bushtracks is hosted and i am leaving feeling soo blessed and educated.nMike really takes pride in what he does and has been living this world of survival and human integration with nature for many years now and you can definitely see that in what he does. We learnt so many things on the bushtracks tour from how to identify particular trees, Flowers’s plants and shrubs, to what berries to eat and how to test if you can eat the fruit from a tree before you do. We dove into the ecosystem of the trees and learnt about how they communicate and work with each other to survive. You name it and mike discussed it, birds, insects animals… all questions are welcome and jokes are too.nWe finished off with a beautiful tea and some jams and full hearts and minds.nThankyou for everything you do mike

It was such a beautiful property and well maintained. Mike was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Australian bush and bush medicine. It was fascnating! The boardwalk was so peaceful, and we really felt relaxed immersing in nature. The morning tea was absolutely delicious and refreshing after a hot day. Definitely recommend to do the eco tour and you will be fascinated! Thank you Mike! We had a wonderful time!

We recently got a sneak peek at Bush Tracks Eco Tours in 1770 , and it’s so much more than just a walk in the bush!nnRun by a passionate local team, this tour is a great example of an Australian business stepping up to showcase our natural assets while educating visitors along the way. Mike, our owner-operator-guide-extraordinaire shares fascinating insights into local plants and wildlife—how they work together, how they support the ecosystem, and why they matter. We have learnt so many things about the region that we didn't know already!nnThe custom-built boardwalk and informative signage (which is super kid friendly as well!) make it easy to learn as you go, covering everything from the role of native bees to clever land management practices.nnAnd yes, there's a delicious tasting platter for morning tea too—with a few uniquely Aussie flavours.nnIf you’re heading to Agnes Water/1770, this is a fantastic way to reconnect with nature and support a homegrown business doing great things for our environment and tourism industry. You won't be disappointed!

My husband and I stayed a couple of nights at Travellers Rest 1770 and I can’t recommend it enough! Mike, his wife, and 3 young children have created such a beautiful eco-friendly haven on their own private property, and give you such a warm welcome from the moment you arrive.nnWe also joined Mike on one of his bush tracks tours which was a highlight of our stay. You meet Mike at the beginning of the Boardwalk where he does a welcome and introduction to the land, and also emphasised the importance of minimal environmental impact, which really resonated with us, as we ourselves are tour guides in Central Queensland.nnMike and Michi have very thoughtfully designed and built a boardwalk, which is also wheelchair accessible weaving through the trees without damaging them. Walking underneath a massive overhanging tree was an amazing experience. What truly set this tour apart was Mike’s knowledge of the local flora. He shared insights into the various plants, explaining their uses for food, medicine, resources, shelter, water and more. We then finished the tour sitting around a campfire, watching and listening about their natives bees and hives, eating some delicious bush tucker, native jams, and a cup of herbal tea—all made with wooden products, and often using materials Mike has created himself.nnWe can’t thank you enough Mike and Michi for such an amazing experience. Whenever we’re travelling back through Agnes Water, we will be sure to stay with you again and join you on another guided adventure!
