At Bimbi Park, nestled within a stunning national park, our limited electricity supply drives us to prioritize energy efficiency without compromising our guests’ comfort, from LED lighting and energy-efficient appliances to solar-powered cabins designed for sustainability.

Our cabins and camping pods are designed with sustainability at their core, providing a comfortable stay while minimizing environmental impact. We carefully select eco-friendly materials, ensuring a low carbon footprint. All cabins built in the last 10 years feature double-glazed windows, double-insulated walls, ceilings, and insulated floors—helping to reduce energy use while keeping you cozy. Additionally, each cabin is equipped with water-saving taps, efficient toilets, and heaters with timers, so you can relax knowing your stay is both comfortable and eco-friendly.

When we got to Bimbi there were septic tanks around the park that treated the wastewater, and then the effluent went into realm drains underground and the plants used the nutrients. It has been done this way for years and in sandy soil is very successful. We have taken it one step further. After the septic tanks all the effluent is now pumped to our treatment plant and treated. Without chemicals, the effluent goes from a brown murky high nutrient liquid to something that looks like drinking water. It’s “B’ grade water which we can’t drink but can drip irrigate. Our trees love it. When government legislation changes and we are able to do so, we will use this water in our toilets, it’s all plumbed and ready to go.

This dramatically reduces our environmental footprint

On a short trip, I saw a motel using soap pump dispensers instead of plastic bottles—what a great idea! Back at Bimbi Park, I discovered that 46% of the product from used bottles went unused and to landfill. By switching to bulk dispensers, we can significantly reduce this waste, as a single 15-liter tub replaces 1,388 small bottles. With 404 million visitor nights annually in Australia, it’s crucial to adopt such eco-friendly practices.

We have food bins at all our bin areas so guests can put their food scraps in. These bins go to our chickens, you can feed them yourself. We save 100s of bins of food scraps from going into land fill.

At Bimbi Park, we are committed to using biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning products to minimize chemical runoff into the soil and in our treatment plant, which helps keep the surrounding ecosystem healthy and protects local wildlife. We use white vinegar whenever possible for its natural cleaning properties. Frank, swears by white vinegar in his commercial kitchen and uses it extensively for its effectiveness and eco-friendliness.

At Bimbi Park, we are deeply committed to enhancing our natural environment through extensive tree and native plant planting. Over the years, we have planted thousands of trees and native plants, creating vibrant habitats that support local wildlife and bird species. This ongoing effort enriches the park’s landscape, providing a lush and thriving natural setting for our guests to enjoy. By nurturing these plants, we not only contribute to the beauty of Bimbi Park but also promote ecological balance and biodiversity. Come and experience the serene beauty of our park’s natural habitat, where every tree and plant plays a role in sustaining our unique ecosystem. Keep an eye out for our next tree planting weekend.

We work hard to protect the native wildlife that calls Bimbi Park home. This includes educating our guests on how to observe wildlife without disturbing it, such as keeping a safe distance from koalas and not feeding the animals.

We preserve the natural bushland, avoiding unnecessary landscaping and ensuring that the park blends harmoniously with the surrounding environment.

At Bimbi Park, we offer insulated stainless steel reusable drink bottles, designed with the environment in mind.

At Bimbi Park, we sell eco-friendly fire bricks made from clean hardwood sawdust, a byproduct of milling that would otherwise go to landfill. These bricks burn hotter, produce less smoke, and leave minimal ash thanks to their low moisture content. While we sometimes stock firewood, we prefer these bricks for their environmental benefits, as no trees are directly cut down to produce them.
