    Always something different to see and experience, it's such an amazing place. Lucky for me, it's just a short bike ride away. This morning we had Kookaburras, Kangaroo and amazing weather at 06:30hrs. Need a place to switch off, then take an hour for a stroll here. Also, the Rangers seem to have a great sense of humour, given the attached image. 😁

    This is a wonderful place and quite unexpected but DO NOT FOLLOW Google Maps or else you’ll end up in a retirement village. Instead search for ‘Southport Flying Club’ and go down ‘Shelter Road’. I couldn’t believe this was just a few minutes from Harbourtown outlet shopping but such a large, natural sanctuary. Absolutely beautiful and we will come again.

    A great hour. We were surrounded by scores of wild kangaroo and later saw 2 koalas. Great spot to photograph nature just 5 minutes from Harbour town

    Its a great place if you have friends visiting you and you dont want take them to theme park. Also suprise your girl friend in a wildlife area, even family time with kids. Best time go them it is around the sunset time, most of the kangaroo will out for food and sun, mostly chill, u can easily see baby in the pocket and around audlt kangaroo, some tips is make sure your phone is full of charge, if you want have a walk around the area, you ight see koalas as well, but plz wear long sleeve top and pants,heaps of mosquito around, especially u have kid with you.

    Beautiful place to walk and cycle around. The park is very large and you can admire kangaroos and koalas in freedom. You cannot miss the chance to see these animals in a natural environment. In many places there is watertight, especially after the rains. I recommend bringing a mosquito repellent.

    Been here countless times and love it every time. Surprisingly, it was very quiet for a Saturday and I was alone with the kangaroos for a while until more people arrived.

    Date of visit: Mon 15 May 2023 Time : 10 am I parked at the Coombanah car park. Very few parking lots and some available off-road parking spaces. I did the Melaleuca boardwalk circuit then continued via the Kangaroo trail towards the Koala trail. I didn’t finish the whole koala trail. I doubled back the same way except for the last section, where it’s a short distance to the carpark. The kangaroo and koala trails are without canopy so could be pretty hot if the sun is overhead. On a cloudy or overcast day, it is a pleasant walk amongst nature.

    Nice large park with walking and biking trails through flooded forests. There are lots of kangaroos and Wallabies about as well.

    I can't believe I've only just stumbled across this place. Lovely spot for a stroll!

    A conservation area very close to Surfers paradise. Kangaroos are all over the place and you can have very close and safe encounters with the animals. There are walking tracks as well where you can spot Koala`s if you are lucky. Great fun for the whole family. The gates open and close automatically so watch out. 6AM to 6 PM. Have fun :)

👍 Beautiful and fairly easy walking trail. It's a family friendly trail where you can take kids too. Lot of kangaroos, some koalas. There are lot of mosquitoes so consider having a repellent.

👍👍 Magnificent part of the world get over there and have a good look around you won't be disappointed. Take a walk over to the east side (surf side) take water and don't forget your camera keep your eye peeled plenty to see. And you will almost have the place to yourself except for the wildlife.
