Walk through a conserved wetland and watch kangaroos grazing and sunbathing freely in their natural environment. Observe an array of bird species hunting for food in the wetlands - the natural terrain of the Gold Coast area. Look for sleepy koalas in their native homes of eucalyptus trees. Observe different types of vegetation and feel paper bark trees. It is important to note that this is not a zoo, it is a conserved piece of land. The animals and birds are free to roam around as they please, as such they are not likely to let you pat them and you are not encouraged to try, they are in their natural environment and will act as they please.
