About Us

Forest Flying is owned and operated by Dave and Donna Lowe — residents of Finch Hatton Gorge since 1989. Our land covers over 72 acres bordered on two sides by Eungella national park, where you can find the longest continuous stretch of rainforest in Queensland. On the premises we operate our own permaculture farm; growing mangoes, lychees, bananas, and other tropical fruits, and maintaining livestock. We live a sustainable lifestyle in harmony with nature — generating our own energy from hydro and solar, and living in an energy efficient, earth-sheltered home of our own design.

We have been members of the W.W.O.O.F (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) organization since 1995. During this time we have been hosts to many “WWOOFers” from all over the world and met some very interesting people – many who have made important contributions to the establishment of Forest Flying.

Eco-tourism is an outgrowth of our long-term commitment to maintaining the environment. It is our goal to share our love and knowledge of this area with others, providing opportunities to experience the beauty of the gorge without harming this fragile habitat.
