Glenbrook Country Retreat, Margaret River
Coordinator: Boyd Wykes and members of Owl Friendly Margaret River

The excursion will be based at Glenbrook Country Retreat, a 78ha environmentally focused chalet and camping property 5km South of the Margaret River town. Our host Cherie Hindle is an avid wildlife enthusiast. Many of the south-west endemic birds, including iconic white-tailed and red-tailed cockatoos are regularly present in the large reservation of forest on the property. Through decades of controlling cats and foxes and sensitive fire management, there is also abundant marsupial and bird life at night including Masked Owls that regularly help control rabbits.

Accommodation options available:

• 2 rooms with a queen bed
• 2 rooms with a queen bed plus a single bed
• 1 room with a queen bed and 2 single beds
• 1 room with a queen bed to which a single bed can be added
• 1 room with 2 single beds and a set of bunks
• 1 room with a king bed and a set of bunks

Fees: Room fees are $55 per night singles, $77 double/twins, $88 triple.

There is an extensive camping ground, best suited to self-contained outfits, supported by toilets and showers but there is a small camp kitchen and capacity to join in with others at the retreat facilities.

Camping is $20 per night singles; $25 couples.

Delegates can also book accommodation elsewhere in the vicinity and meet up at Glenbrook for activities. Tanya Mann of the Margaret River Busselton Tourism Association is standing by to assist. Email:Tanya.mann@mrbya.com
