Overview
Walkabout with Wildlife! With more than 180 species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians in our park, you never know what you might see! Koalas, pythons, hopping mice, stick insects and spiders can always be seen in enclosures in and around the visitor centre, and our dingoes are regularly brought out of their enclosure so that you can have a chance to cuddle and walk with them. Flying-foxes and wombats are fun to visit, too! Two species of kangaroo, emus and six species of wallabies hang around near our visitor centre and along our three kilometres of hiking trails. Zoe, with her diamante-studded collar, is probably the most-photographed Eastern Grey Kangaroo on the Central Coast. Leila (our female Red Kangaroo), Marshall (the friendliest Swamp Wallaby) and Tegan (a hand-raised Wallaroo) are just some of the special creatures who have found a home with us, Dexter the cockatoo is a well-known character, and Marni the Eastern Pygmy Possum is everybody's favourite!
Up to eleven ranger-led talks and tours are held throughout the day (see www.walkaboutpark.com.au for the schedules), from boomerang throwing to reptile demonstrations to opportunities to get up close and personal with many of our animals. How about a cuddly koala photo? Or would you prefer to pose with a python? You can join in as many of these as you like - or wander around on your own if you prefer, exploring our beautiful bush, including such rare plants as our Wollemi colony and large areas of Darwinia glaucophylla.
Most popular are our well-known Aboriginal Sites and Bush Tucker and Bush Medicine tours. We are extremely privileged to not only be located in Darkinjung country, but also to protect a very special hand stencil cave, numerous rock engravings, mondos, axe-grinding grooves and fire-rings. We ask our visitors to treat these precious reminders of our country's history with the respect they deserve, as they indulge their five senses with Australian bush tucker and bush medicine.
