Come and stay with us these school holidays! After the recent rain the property is looking BEAUTIFUL. The sound of the creeks running full of water is a joy and everything feels fresh.

There's so much to do without leaving the property:
- explore our two marked trails through the rainforest
- relax around the fire, indoors or out
- sit with a cuppa and watch the yellow robins, firetails and more from your verandah
- wander down Misty Lane at twilight and greet the wombats and kangaroos
- explore behind the cabins. Even a few metres into the forest you will see wonderful things.
- share the holiday with friends. Bringing a couple of families together at Ben Ricketts is a guarantee of a wonderful time.

Our final working bee of 2023 was recently attended by 10 shareholders / friends, and included our AGM F2F and online. Much work was done including cleaning of the communal area, cabin cupboards, the shed (oh my!), gutter cleaning, fitting extra curtains, and weeding. Local walks including Barren Grounds are at their best at this time of year, as the flowers are out, birds are many, and the temperature is perfect. A great time to visit. Next working bee in Feb - date to be confirmed.
