Things to Do

Wildlife Spotting: Look out for koalas, kangaroos, and a variety of bird species. The perfect place to see them up close!
The Koala's were introduced to the Park in 1938 and is the only place in Western Australia to see Koala's in the wild. There's Miffy (7 year old Female), Louie and Franklin Doogsie, 18-month-old brothers, 9-year-old Kate and 14-year-old Koodah.
The kangaroos typically start gathering in the grassy area near the Visitor Center around 4:30 PM, especially as the temperature cools down. This is a great time to spot them as they become more active, grazing and hopping around in small groups.
Walking Trails: Enjoy the numerous walking trails.
Picnicking: There are several picnic areas equipped with BBQ facilities.
