Paved path up the hill for about 600m with some seating for rests, then you can go sideways for 650 m to see the WW11 bunker which was just an empty shell and not worth it, or walk up to the summit, it does have sections of steep metal stairs with narrow steps, but then more gentle areas to get your breath back before the next stairs. The path wraps around the hill near the top to give great views of the coast and 2 viewing platforms at the top where I saw 2 whales and a pod of dolphins, well worth the effort

It took me about 45 minutes to get to the summit after taking a little detour to see the WW2 gun emplacements. I wouldn’t even bother going to the WW2 gun emplacement as there is nothing to see here. It is abandoned and run down with a few posters to read about it. The walk to the summit has lots of steps that are very steep when walking up. If you suffer from knee or major health issues, I wouldn’t recommend you do the walk. I did see a fair few people over 60’s doing the walk. Wearing joggers is a must as there are parts of the walk that are un even, so please don’t wear sandals or flip flops. When you reach the top, the views are absolutely gorgeous. They are the type of views that you would see all over social media. I took some food with me and had a little picnic at the top while I rested and enjoyed the views. If your lucky enough, you might catch dolphins or whales swimming in the distance. Do yourself a favor, come here and do the walk. You won’t regret it, it’s great!

5. Wingham Brush Nature Reserve

It is a wonderful nature reserve with several easy boardwalks tracks running through it. The huge Moreton Bay Figs are spectacular and there are cedar trees and stinging trees, the ones with the big leaves that hurt if you touch them. We took friends to the reserve for their first visit. They were amazed by the number of Brush Turkeys they saw and how many nests their were. The bush seemed less dense and there was more light filtering through to the floor. We felt that it must be the effect of the drought and trees were dropping leaves in order to survive. There were also fewer Flying Foxes in the trees which usually make a racket as you walk through the area.

Today we visited Billabong zoo greeted by lovely ticket staff with big smiles and a lovely welcome. It has been one of the highlights of our holiday. The zoo keepers are not only amazing but very informative and show care and expertise in how they treat the animals. Always with the greatest respect I might add. Special thanks to Simonne no one knows more about Koalas than this young woman. Also she did several other animal talks given us a real insight to the work they do at the zoo and the importance of conservation. Thanks also to Brooke and her assistant we had a very informative chat about big cats she is an amazing young woman what an achievement working with these wonderful complex animals at such a young age. Also to Ashley excellent talk over the noise of traffic which wasn't easy about the stunning red pandas who obviously adore her. Shrek was fantastic and our jaws dropped at the skill of the presentation by both Keepers. Cafe offered lots of delights but we ended up with only having drinks and ice cream as the weather was too hot to eat a hot meal! Hope to visit again soon!

8. Oakvale Wildlife Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 230 reviews
The Ultimate Hands-On Experience. Set on 25 acres of open natural bushland, Oakvale Wildlife Park is 100% Australian owned and operated. At the park, you will find an endless menagerie of Australian native, domestic farm and exotic animals such as koalas, kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, goats, sheep, rabbits, alligators and ostriches. Plus many, many more. Established in November 1979 by Jeff and Elaine Sansom and later passed down to their son Kent Sansom in 1995. Oakvale Wildlife Park has remained a family-owned and operated business for more than 40 years. Since 1979 the farm has undergone countless changes. The most recent of which is our koala breeding and education centre ‘Koala Country’. However, one thing that remains the same is our commitment to providing an opportunity for our customers to learn about our native wildlife and how we can protect it. We strive to provide a fun, safe, educational, accessable and value for money experience for the whole family.

We visited Oakvale today, to say I was impressed would be an understatement. The staff were friendly, the animals were all well looked after, the grandchildren loved being able to feed the animals and the playground kept them entertained. Well done Oakvale we thoroughly enjoyed our day.

We drove through the park to reach a great campsite near the beach at Seal Rocks. The tall trees are amazing! It was hard to find an easy route to view the lake, but the glimpses we caught were beautiful.
