👍👍 Bring cash. They don't accept eftpos. Wonderful. 🥰

👍👍 Make sure you jump off the bus here. Often you're lucky enough to get up very close with these beautiful animals. Toilet stop and shady place for a picnic. If you like fitness it's a beautiful walk back to the new visitor centre from here with great paths and a few challenging hills.
