Brief history: 
Ducks crossing has been trading for almost 4 years and during this time of conversion from an ex nursery and garden centre has reached the stage where a combined annual turnover of $1 million is expected to be reached during the 2009 calendar year.  Ducks Crossing, Quackers Restaurant and Function Centre have been operating in an environmentally responsible way, using natural gas and roofwater with a view to reducing dependence on the environment and maintaining a minimum carbon footprint wherever possible. The business and names have been internationally trademarked.
Selected and approved applicants now have a limited ground floor opportunity whereby an almost identical enterprise can be commissioned from the ground up using a proven and completely integrated formula that is continuously being refined to a high degree and this will be secured by a long term exclusive agreement. 

 You will require: 
A suitable small acreage (2-5 ha minimum) located in a bushland setting featuring either a natural watercourse or lagoon, preferably in an area with established attractions.
A strong work ethic with principals capable of working in a team environment 
Business experience and above all a desire to succeed, a capacity to make guests feel at home.  

Site selection:
Anywhere across the country. The principals will make their premises available to the franchisees and their executive chef for training purposes and staff will then be trained during the operational phase of the newly established franchise. The franchisors vision is to have a chain of owner operated franchised enterprises strategically located across the nation so that eventually consumers can book at the Ducks Crossing of their choice simply by logging on to the website and then selecting their preferred venue. 

Suggested sites:
 Lower Hunter Valley, Port Stephens, Blue Mountains, Morpeth, Upper Hunter Valley, Dubbo, Bathurst, Sydney, Wollongong, Forster, Great Lakes, Central Coast, Terrigal, Southern highlands, South Coast, in fact any timbered acreage that has permanent water  – Sites selected in later years will only be approved after careful consideration of demographics, local attractions and the interests of existing franchisees. 

Site conversion:
Existing acreages suitable for conversion from an existing B + B, Hotel, Motel or Caravan Park will also be considered provided they will fit in with the concept, model and consent authority land use.
