Jacinta McMahon

The Eco tour to the Bunya Mountains with Flora 4 Fauna exceeded my expectations. As an emerging wildlife photographer, I found the walking pace perfect to be able to zoom in on the many native flora and fauna that showed off in vibrant displays of colours and shapes. Ambling beneath the cooling canopy of this unique ancient subtropical rainforest and marvelling at its abundance and splendour was candy for the soul.The best part was to have Kemp share his intricate learnings of the native flora and fauna we saw. Together with his storytelling and to be able to enjoy Bunya Nut infused local delicacies the experience came full circle.Kemp's intimate knowledge of the rural road network combined with the air conditioned comfort of the car made for a relaxing travel experience.

Christel

“We recently purchased 20 acres and not long after got Kemp from Flora 4 Fauna out for a consultation. This was hands down the best thing we did, were very glad we did it early on! Not only did Kemp advise us what plants would work well, but also identified species we already had growing (which we would have never known without him).

Kemp recommended specific plants & placements that would be beneficial. We didn’t have high expectations of survival as we have very sandy soil, and we only get out to the block once a week to water. Following Kemp’s guidance, all of our plants have not only survived but are thriving! This was a great feeling to have so many wins and see things thriving, as opposed to struggling to keep things alive. “

Sophie Oliver

“Fantastic day exploring some very special spots right here in SE Qld. Lots of valuable info that everyone should learn to live within our wonderful environment amongst such beautiful creatures!”

Catherine Parsons

“If you haven't done this walk or attended one of their talks, I really recommend you do so. The knowledge of local bush tucker, medicinal plants, dry rainforest species AND where to buy them from.... is amazing! You will be so pleased you did.”
