Beautiful beach and lovely and clean. Loads of restaurants and bars nearby plus public toilets (very clean, even at the end of the day).

OK, this is not a zoo. No groomed pathways and cages. Wallabies & kangaroos and birds roam freely, so that means poo on the ground and animals scratching themselves and other natural acts. What this means for you is real hands on ability to touch and feed animals, from Eastern Grey Kangaroos and emus to small Pademelons and wallabies. What an amazing thing to do! They have a huge facility that most people don’t realize. From a building for venomous snakes, dingo, echidna, Tasmanian devil, wombat and other enclosures to multiple aviaries scattered throughout the park. I especially enjoy the huge back enclosure where easily a hundred kangaroos live, breed and carry joeys in their pouches. With your entrance fee you get a free bag of feed, buy more for .50, you will use it. I have been here several times over the past 4 years and while at zoos, you can only look, here you can interact and get a real FEEL for the animals and their natural environments and habits. Pet a wallaby and find the sweet spot on a Roo where they love to be scratched. I just wish they were open longer hours and I could work there!

A wonderful evening is to spend it at the Market, there a all sorts of stalls including food and local produce. To top it off there's a band playing. You can just sit and relax and listen to the music and look out across to the beautiful ocean and pier. It's definitely a must thing to go to if your up on the Island
