Lumholtz Tree Kangaroos at Nerada Tea Rooms
We are very lucky to have a family of Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroos living in the treetops adjacent to our Nerada Tea Rooms in Malanda.
It is very rare for these animals to live in a group; usually, they are territorial and can be quite aggressive when protecting their borders. They generally only come together to mate, the infants then staying with their mothers for two years before they move on.
Of course, you don’t always find them in the trees at Nerada; like any wild animal, they move around as they please and occasionally return to the rainforest. If you're in the Atherton Tablelands, be sure to put a trip to the Nerada Tea Rooms in Malanda on your itinerary and you may just be lucky enough to get to see them for yourself.
Our Plantation Director Tony Poyner gives you an insight into what you might see in this short video.

Tree Roo Rescue and Conservation Centre: this is Stix
I made a short visit to the Tree Kangaroo Rescue and Conservation Centre on the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland when I was there last week, and met up with my friend Dr Karen Coombes who owns and manages the place. I was lucky enough to meet some of the residents and the rehab animals, including Stix.
Lumholtz Tree Kangaroos only live in patches of remnant rainforest in Far North Queensland from Cardwell to the Daintree. They are classified as a near threatened species.
The Tree Roo Rescue and Conservation Centre is mostly self funded and they could do with donations if you feel inclined. Visit and LIKE their FB page and meet all the incumbents.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
