Introducing the Murphy’s Creek Escape Eco Billabong
Based at the foot of the Toowoomba Range, we’re blessed to live in a pretty spectacular part of the world. Our little slice of Australia is brimming with beautiful views, rugged countryside, lush greenery and an abundance of wildlife. We realise how lucky we are to call this place our own and we want to share it with people from all walks of life – but we want to protect the environment too!
Conventional chlorinated pools are always a hit with the kids, but they’re not quite as good for local flora and fauna. In fact, the chlorine and other chemicals used in regular pools can poison wildlife, kill off plants and contaminate the soil – and these effects last long after the pool is gone.
But that’s where our new Eco Billabong is different. It only takes one look at the natural swimming pool to see how great it is for the environment. That’s because it uses a wetlands filtration system that relies on rocks, plants and fish to filter the water back to its pristine best. This natural system helps us look after the local wildlife and attracts everything from reptiles and frogs to bees and birds. And on top of that? It’s the perfect place to take a dip after a day of fun in the sun.
A natural eco swimming pool
When we set our mind to building the Eco Billabong, we knew that we wanted it to be something pretty special. To ensure we could bring our dream to life, we partnered with the best in the business – Queensland-based builders, Eco Billabongs. This team lives and breathes all things natural pools and ponds, which meant they had plenty of creative ideas to add to our vision. They’ve also worked on some major projects across the state, including a specially designed pool for the Woodford Folk Festival, which was a massive hit with the festival-goers.
We joined forces with Eco Billabong to build a pool that looks like the typical rock pool you’d find in the bush or rainforest, and that would work in harmony with its surroundings – creating a unique paradise for our guest. And it’s looking pretty epic if we do say so ourselves.
