The best place to see Koalas in the wild, so call in for a picnic or a BBQ and listen to the Australian bush. Please pop into our Visitors Centre and say Hi or G"day. We will gladly supply a map of the 9 hectare site and we love to chat

Flora walk in July

I took a walk around the Habitat to see what was around, since Spring seems to be coming a bit early this year. 
Left from the Centre, past Nursery, down the bushland Amble to Mossy Boardwalk (where the frogs were very loud). Along to The Hub and then out onto the bike path, reentered via Middle Gate and down to Birdsong to check on the nesting birds.*See map below
To hear the birds, bees, frogs, rustling in the grasses and the sight of all these in flower was delightful.
  Highly recommend this part of the Habitat at this time of year especially.

 



No, the wombat didn't sit on these, but don't tell the Kids Club!Spiny Matt Rush

Lots of frogs and very vocal


The recent rain has boosted growth along
Acacia are stunning, with lots of bees buzzing


Watch for surprises




 The Hub, lots of information on these posts
and look out for the Tawny Frogmouths
