Where does the tour happen?
Our Birds Bay farm is nestled in a wide, sheltered inlet known as the Terranora Broadwater. It’s one of only four leases permitted to cultivate the native Sydney Rock Oyster in the Tweed River. From your table at The Oyster Shed, you can see our farm less than a hundred metres from the shore. We’re also exploring the potential of this location for growing other oyster species, such as the faster-growing Pacific.
What does the tour include?
Join our Catch a Crab Tour for an unforgettable adventure! You’ll get to trap live crabs, fish on the mighty Tweed River, hand-feed friendly wild pelicans, and pump for yabbies (tide and weather permitting). Plus, enjoy a guided tour of the Tweed area’s working oyster farms.
