Visit The Koala Centre
Right at the edge of the picnic area is the Daisy Hill Koala Centre which you must not miss visiting. Though you cannot pat the koalas, even waiting for some time to see them will make you feel good. If you’re interested in holding a koala, then a visit to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is a must!
Mountain Biking
if you love riding your bike but not the traffic that you have to face in the main city, then this area is perfect for you. There are many mountain biking trails that you can choose from. However, beginners should opt for the trail which has been marked as easy, and children should only ride on the concrete paths.
View the wildlife the park has many tallowwoods, ironbark, stringybark, and grey gum trees. This makes it an ideal residing place for koalas, birds, wallabies, reptiles, and possums. While enjoying your picnic you may get to see laughing kookaburras, Australian magpies, pied butcherbirds, and much more. Along the walking tracks you may get to see koalas, fairy-wrens, and fantails, and near the waterholes and creeks, eastern water dragons and sacred kingfishers are commonly seen.
