Nice beach with a great playground and grass area. Lots of sand and room to play, and not too far from the centre of town.

Perfect place to go and chill out to watch the view or read or have a picnic. So relaxing and beautiful. Walk on the rocky shore or the sandy beach, your choice. We got to see a pod of dolphins swim not far from the shoreline which was a bit of a highlight.

Went on a night tour the other night. Absolutely fantastic experience. Don't know where to start! So amazing to experience Betongs and Potaroos prancing around our feet in one enclosure while Gliders did their thing overhead and stared at us at a very close range. Tawny Frogmouth whooshed past my ear on his way to a better view of us. I've lived in the area since 1996 and have been coming to this sanctuary regularly for many years, when it was still a wildlife park, and had only ever seen the tiniest bit of a wombat's bottom. Well, this time one of the wombats strolled right over to the fence and had a good look at us, sat down and thought about it all for a bit and then strolled off once we'd all had a good look at each other. Wonderful. So much info and chatting with the keepers which was great. Small group and very sociable. Trevor the possum another long time resident who I've never seen either in the many years he's been here. He was sitting, waiting for us to arrive and admire him. Lots of other interesting, fun and informative features. Will definitely go again and take my visitors and can absolutely recommend this sanctuary anytime, not just the night tour.
