Upon arrival, enjoy a light lunch before discovering local conservation efforts and wildlife tracking techniques. Spend the afternoon exploring bushland and open country populated by birdlife such as kookaburras, rosellas, cockatoos, and possibly emus.
In the late afternoon, watch kangaroos grazing, wallabies moving through the undergrowth, and potentially see the elusive platypus in still waters. As dusk falls, have a hearty dinner at a historic country pub.
After dinner, head out with red spotlights to search for nocturnal marsupials including wombats, possums, and feathertail gliders. Return to Sydney under the stars, enriched with photographs and memories of Australia’s wildlife.
