This past weekend brought a deluge to the Hunter Valley, with floodwaters rising once again. The landscape changed almost overnight—paddocks turned to lakes, access roads became streams, and every step outside meant another battle with the relentless mud. But as the water slowly recedes, a sense of normality returns to the farm.
Today, Euan captured an incredible moment on video: a gang-gang cockatoo perched contentedly in the paddock tree, enjoying seeds scattered on the wet ground. Watching this magnificent bird reminded us of nature's resilience. Even after the chaos of the flood, life finds a way to settle back in, bringing a sense of normalcy and comfort.

Why are Gang Gang Cockatoos important? These beautiful birds are endangered. Their population has dropped 70% in three generations, so they deserve some airtime on our page and a whole lot of bush food.
When you reserve your summerhouse farmstay with us, be sure to bring your camera to capture the incredible birdlife and wildlife that surrounds the property—it's a truly special experience you won't want to miss.
