This nature reserve is home to around 180 species of native Australian birds, animals and reptiles who are roaming free in over 170 acres of bush. This is a great chance to see how Australian animals live in their own natural habitat.
Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, possums and bandicoots are all common sites around the park. Many of them are used to visitors and enjoy a pat. The area is also rich in Aboriginal history. Engravings and sketches can be found in the sandstone throughout the park.
Each day the Australian walkabout wildlife park holds different talks and activities which promote education about the flora and fauna of the area as well as its aboriginal heritage. Tours of the park are available which can also include morning or afternoon tea. Those keen to experience the Australian bush at night can arrange to sleep out in the park.
There is a visitor’s centre, café and a picnic area on site.
The park is just over an hour north from Sydney and can be reached on the Newcastle Freeway.
