BFD8 is the name of one of our thriving colony of Potoroos. Although endangered there is a very active program to ensure their monitoring and survival. |
A regular nocturnal visitor to campsites and cabins is the brushtail possum. These inquisive little fellows are happy to come and make your aquaintance.

Right at your door nature comes to visit. This wallaby and her joey are regular visitors around the park.

Don't sit on me! Especially around spring time the echidna is a regular sight. Wabbling along the side of the road or anywhere throughout the park. |

Seals, and occasionally whales (further out at sea) can be seen from the shore of the park. |
