This protected reserve combines wetlands, open grassland, and eucalypt forest, supporting a wide range of wildlife. It’s one of the most reliable places on the Gold Coast to see kangaroos in open areas, along with birdlife across the wetlands and koalas in the forested sections. Tracks move between these different environments, with a mix of shaded bushland and more exposed, open terrain.
