Inclusive Eco Adventures

Freedom Forest Lodge

Freedom Forest Lodge provides inclusive eco adventures for the whole community. Activities include guided bush trail tours, Arts, Music, cooking or simply recharging the spirit and soul. There are more than 10 kms of accessible trails on the 120ac property with interpretive signage that allows people to gain knowledge of the local flora and forna.

We believe that there is a real healing energy when you allow yourself to be immersed in Nature.

We believe all of us should have the opportunity to feel this energy – whether you use a wheelchair or not.

So come and visit for the day, or stay with us for longer at

Founder

Andrew Drain

In 1992 at the age of 24 I embarked on a life long journey to create a place that I could share. All I knew was that the healing powers of the bush that surrounded me were helping me get over a recent MVA that had left me a paraplegic in a wheelchair.

I had purchased a bush block in the middle of the forest with stars in my eyes and my mission began. 32 years later I have arrived at a point of being able to share this beautiful place with others.

surounded by

Bachelor State Forest

and

Wallingat National Park

Here, on the Mid North Coast of NSW, the Pacific Ocean meets forest. You’ll see stands of straight, tall flooded gums, as well as large stands of cabbage palms, filled with the sounds of the Wallingat’s native birdlife.

A network of unsealed roads throughout the Bachelor Forest and The Wallingat National Park (accessible by 2WD in dry weather) allows you to discover many of its awesome features.  Keep your eyes peeled for kangaroos and wallabies, as well as some of the 200 species of birds that make this region their home.

The Mighty Wallingat River is accessible from the Eastern side of the property where swimming, canoeing and fishing are just some of the activities possible in this pristine environment.

No matter what your abilities are, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at
