Join the Dreamtime Walk to learn how to throw a boomerang, observe spear-throwing, and listen to didgeridoo playing after watching the Pamagirri Dancers perform in the rainforest amphitheatre.
Your tour continues to the Koala and Wildlife Park. A guided tour will allow you to observe crocodiles, wombats, snakes, dingoes, and a cassowary, as well as hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies.
