We did the Koala and Wildlife Park and the Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience, but wee unable to get tickets for the Army Duck Tour as we booked fairly last minute and there were a lot of tour groups present.

We had an awesome guide for the DUKW tour who gave us loads of information on many indigenous plants on the tour. After all that we wandered around to read the information signs for the m...

They even taught us how to throw a boomerang, which was a memorable experience. The...

All the three experiences were great. Aboriginal dance, boomerang and their history was the best. It was great to experience the army duck. Animals were great for my kids. You can easily spend a good 4 hours. This place had buffet food which was value for money. The whole place is accessible and with public toilets.

We paid $41 for a single photo and the entire experience with the koala lasted no more than 10 seconds, just enough for the staff to snap a picture. It may be better if the group can have a closer...
