Film Crew at Tarzali Lakes Print E-mail

A Japanese Television crew that is producing a series highlighting the beautiful flora and fauna of the Cardwell to Cape Tribulation region, including the accredited the nature reserve at Tarzali Lakes, was on site on the 6th of October 2008.

As Tarzali Lakes is host to a growing platypus population, the crew contacted us to arrange a suitable time for filming these unique Australian natives. The crew were very happy with their sightings and emailed us the following letter of appreciation.

Dear Peter

Thanks very much for your cooperation for Japanese TV program.
They have finished all shooting and left to Japan.

We all appreciate your kindness and many efforts.
They are very happy because of the fine weather during the journey.

I hope the program would be very good promotion of Tarzali Lakes and Cairns.
On Air date has not been fixed yet. It might be early next year.
Once we get the copy of the program, we would send it to you as well.

I am looking forward to working with you again near future.

Best Regards

A Beautiful Wedding Day Print E-mail

Tarzali Lakes hosted and catered for a lovely wedding ceremony on the 20th of September 2008. Approximately 80 guests were in attendance. The couple and their family and guests were enthralled by the beautiful surrounds and facilities on offer.

The children were in particular entertained and well catered for, leaving the adults to relax and enjoy the special day.
 
July 2008 Newsletter Print E-mail
The last month has once again been a hectic one, but most of our earthworks and plantings have been completed.
 
The arrival of our first shipment of eels has been most interesting and keeping these fish in the hatchery tanks has enabled us to observe their antics which are more pronounced when water is running in the tanks.They have become so quite that Pete and I believe that they can train them into performing eels in the future, but unfortunately this may never happen as our new smoke oven has just arrived and smoked eel is definitely on the menu!
 
The Jade Perch are still on the bite but Barra and other species are quiet in these cooler months, which will probably last a few more weeks but after that it will be Action Jackson in the fishing department as the spring livens up the ponds and Pete has erected all the shade houses for the anglers in the warmer months.
 
Speaking of shade, Ramzi has sourced a number of shade sails and these will be a great asset during the summer spread around the centre
 
I have been busy with the small smoke oven producing smoked Barra and Jades,also Redclaw smoked is a unique flavour while his chicken Pastrami goes down a treat. All of these products are now available at the Smokehouse Cafe. I'm very excited of late with the bush tucker in the area, discovering Lemon Aspen growing in the wild and quite a few lucky diners at the Smokehouse Cafe have tried this tasty little fruit with their meals.
 
At the Smokehouse Cafe,Yuwadee has produced a number of excellent dishes and it wont be long before she introduces them in the menu, meanwhile we have the pleasure of being her official taste testers.
 
Pete...our fearless leader...says we may have the opportunity to do a little research on saltwater crocs and our current license allows us to keep two at the centre this would be an exciting adventure and is definitely in the pipeline.
