Osprey House is an environmental centre in Griffin (north of Brisbane, not far from North Lakes) run by the Moreton Bay Regional Council. It’s a perfect adventure outing for families with children of all ages – and best of all, it’s free.
Open to the public all week from 10am to 4pm, it’s named after the resident Ospreys who live high up on a pole in the carpark. Look out for the nest when you arrive and though you can’t get a close look, you can see videos from the “OspreyCam” on the website!
Their great website (built by some of the enthusiastic volunteers) www.ospreyhouse.asn.au is a great resource before and even after your visit with extensive information, photos and videos.
There is plenty to do at Osprey House – you can bring a picnic or BBQ, go birdwatching, look for some of the local resident wildlife (koalas, possums and more) and participate in lots of learning activities for kids of all ages such as plaque rubbing along the “Yali Moyum” (Tell the message) trail.
Here is a video blog of our visit
Our little family (Sophia is 3 and a half and Isabella 1 and a half) have been 4 times now over the last few months. All of us thoroughly enjoy it and discover something new each time.
