Explore the fascinating habitat of resident birds, plants and animals, and learn about the recent Whale Strandings. Observe the vast array of sea birds in a world renown sanctuary.

Dramatic cliffs and weathered rock formations can be seen there.
Jock takes a nature tour to the spit almost every day.
I enjoy it because the nature is in full control out there. It's always different, depending on the season, the time of day and the light. You never could get sick of it. The tour also visits Puponga Farm Park, a 1021 hectare cattle and sheep farm where you can observe the seasonal activities of a farm that has the objective of providing protection to the special features of the area Each tour is served a full meal, either at the Farewell Spit Visitors Centre or out at the lighthouse. The tour departure time is set by the tides of the day, you can check with the Collingwood Post Office base office for information.
