Tours

One of the best ways to see Crystal Waters, and to learn more about the history and development of the community, is to take a tour with one of our local experts.

Cost is $50 for the first person then $10 for each extra person (20% goes to the Crystal Waters Community Co-op).
I can tailor tours to meet the needs of an individual or group. For an additional fee, I can organise accommodation, meals and visits to additional local places of interest.

Guided Bird-Watching Walks

Discover the vibrant & abundant bird life at Crystal Waters as Tom takes you on gentle walks along the creeks, by the dams & through the forests. Over 100 species of birds have been spotted here, some are only seasonal as they follow their migration route, others are year-long residents. Tom will help to explain the behaviour of these delightful & often quirky characters as you watch them hawk for insects, gather nesting material or noisily declare their territory. The bird walk takes 1.5 hrs, cost is $60.00 for up to 2 people, add $10.00/person thereafter.
