@birdwatchingtourssapphirecoast 🐦 Birdwatching is one of the fastest growing outdoor activities enjoyed by millions of people globally, and Australians are exploring the outdoors more and more over the past few years. And with Australia being home to more than 800 bird species and with more than 200 bird species on the @sapphirecoastnsw the region is a great place to starting your birding journey. But where to start? What binoculars should I get? How do I identify bird species? How do I learn different bird song? Take a sneak peak of our “Birdwatching for beginners”! With more than 100 acres of coastal forest and numerous walking tracks, we will bring this experience to you from the beautiful coastal forest of Kianinny Bush Cottages. These sessions are tailored to beginner and intermediate birdwatchers exploring the early days of this amazing hobby, those looking to improve their birding, or those who just want to go birding in this private setting. There are so many birds to see at Kianinny! You can won’t see them all during our experience so why not book yourself a cottage and stay a few days! Kianinny has great accomodation deals so check out their website www.kianinny.com.au We can’t wait to announce our other tours for all levels of experience and when our bookings go live!

Join @drift_tathra for a night of beers and burgers. Only $35. Contact Drift or email (drift.tathra@gmail.com) for tickets. @frogshollowbrewingco @jervisbaybrewing_co

Our first whales of 2023 on the @sapphirecoastnsw 🐳 It was all smiles on board @sapphirecoastaladventures last week as the team encountered a mother #HumpbackWhale and last season's calf. 😍 Not only did they manage to spot these magnificent creatures but the adult breached 3 times! The northern migration is well and truly underway, which means it's only a few months until the main southern migration begins in around August. In other words, it's officially time to start getting excited. 😃 #SapphireCoastNSW #sapphirecoast #feelnsw #newsouthwales #seeaustralia @visitnsw @australia

How great is the #tathra business community?? While mid-week patrols cease on most Sapphire Coast beaches at the end of January, Tathra beach goers can rest assured patrols will continue through February, 7 days a week, all month! 🌊☀️ The amazing Tathra Surf Club Volunteers will patrol on weekends and professional lifeguards from Australian Lifeguard Services will patrol Monday to Friday. 🌊☀️ Such a great service, as many people choose to holiday during February, and locals and school groups also take advantage of the great conditions in Feb. 🌊☀️ This year the extended midweek patrols will run up to the #tathrawharftowaves Ocean Swim event on the weekend 4th & 5th March. 🌊☀️ The weekday beach patrols are paid for by Tathra businesses, Licensed clubs, community organisations as well as individual families. Patrolling weekdays this Feb is dedicated lifeguard Tony McCabe, assisted by other local lifeguards. Tony will also be updating surf conditions daily on social media. 🌊☀️ The Tathra business community have been paying for the extended patrols since 2015, prompted by several beach tragedies. 🌊☀️ Big shout out to this year’s supporting businesses and community organisations including: Tathra Lions Club, Tathra Chamber of Commerce, @tathrabeachhouse @tathrabeachside @big4tathrabeach @tathrahotel @tathrabeachrealestate @tinyzoo_hq @kianinnybushcottages @tathrabowlo @tathrabeachcountryclub @tathrabeachecocamp ♥️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Words: @sapphire_stories Photos: @davey_rogers #sapphirecoastnsw #visittathra

@tathraoysters 🦪 The clear waters of Nelson Creek flow through the native hinterland forests of Mimosa Rocks National Park, before meeting the open coastal estuary of Nelson Lagoon. Gary, Jo and Sam Rodley grow oysters here in pristine wilderness conditions, producing a pure, full-bodied oyster. The estuary is lined by thick mangrove forests, encouraging a rich and bold flavour profile. A burst of salt is followed by smooth cream and lingering sweetness, with complex earthy tones. Fresh seawater delivers trace elements such as zinc and copper to the oyster, producing a mineral finish. You can visit the @tathraoysters “shellar door” at the Rodley family home shopfront in Tathra. Loved as the foodie hero of Tathra, their multi award-winning oysters have become known as some of the best in the world. #visittathra #tathra #sapphirecoastnsw #oystertrail Photos by @davey_rogers
