Rippon Lea Estate is recognised as a leading biodiversity hotspot within the City of Glen Eira.

Rippon lea Estate is recognised as a leading biodiversity hotspot within the City of Glen Eira.

Stepping through the estate gates is akin to stepping back several decades to a time when the bush was not so far away.

The ethereal tinkling of an Australian Grey Fantail has been forgotten by many long-time city-dwellers and is no longer learned by local kids, but amazingly, it still floats through the trees every day at Rippon Lea.

It is a haven for birds and other wildlife.

This new tour offering will allow people to explore the 14 acres of gardens with a volunteer guide and the aid of a new book "The Birds of Rippon Lea Estate Bird Spotter Guide", searching out the diverse family of birds that call Rippon Lea home.

Whether you’re a birdwatching expert or a novice, this tour will to give you a new appreciation of the stunning biodiversity of this magnificent 19th Century Estate.

A colour copy of "The Birds of Rippon Lea Estate Bird Spotter Guide" is included in your tour. A RRP of $12.00, it is also available for purchase onsite.
