Nestled in the Dee range 240 meters (787ft) above sea level, Mount Morgan has a very lovely climate with lovely fresh mountain breezes. We are just about 20km below the tropic of Capricorn, In winter we get temperatures down well below zero {-7°C}plus some really good frosts. In Summer we can get temperature of around 45°C+ Plus, we also can get some really wild storms that snap 100 feet high gum trees in half like a match stick. But we love it.

We live on Eclectus Ave Baree.

We applied and had approved and our Development Application, We are approved for 250 breeding pairs and the young from anyone year. We also had our Seedling & Fruit tree Nursery plus Life style Research & Education center as well as Farm Stay approved at the same time. This all took just over three months and we had to past E.P.A approval as well D.P.I approval. The approval on the bird was sort as we all know that HOBBIES can and do get out of hand.

Four years later and the hobby has gone mad

On Saturday the 5 February 2005

The D6 super cat Bulldozer finally turn up and started work on a new Aviary pad

This pad extends from our old block land over on to our new block that we only just bought

This pad is around thirty meters wide and around 100meters long

The dozer had to come with in inches of some of our Aviaries the bird were not fazed

We were very lucky and the dozer did not hit any larger rocks

The Dozer worked for around 8 hours and moved over 3800 cubic metres of top soil.

A bit of history of the town and mine at Mt Morgan

Over a 108 year period, Mount Morgan produced 240 tonnes of gold, 55 tonnes of silver and 360,000 tonnes of copper. However, these riches came at a great price. For example there was approximately, three million tonnes of tailings were discharged into the Dee River in the 1920's. Which have now just this year been removed at a cost of over Six million dollars.
