Experience Animals and Culture

Travel north passed the Hawkesbury River to Ku-Ring-Gai National Park. Stop near Gosford to visit an Aboriginal rock carving. After a short visit to the Mount Penang Gardens (time and weather permitting) arrive at the Australian Reptile Park, famous for breeding, research and venom extraction. Enjoy a 'hands-on' experience and short 15-minute demonstrations. Check out the Spider World exhibition and the Reptile House. Pet and feed the kangaroos that roam around freely and pet a Koala (photo opportunity, included). Short bushwalks lead you past bird enclosures and through the Australian bush.

A barbecue lunch is included in the tour.
