They could just as easily have called this sonorous group of islands ‘Birdsong Group’. But I suppose Burdwood is acceptable, for the woods are indeed steeped with chirping creatures of all shapes and sizes. The moment I shut off the engine and was greeted by the staccato, I knew I’d come to the right place. There’s a profound sense of peace that comes from stillness and the sounds of singing from the surrounding forest. I look forward to drinking it all in from my hammock.
