Watch Out for Local Wildlife 🦘
The wetland attracts local wildlife, including snakes, so it’s a good idea to stay alert, especially in late spring and summer when brown snakes are more active. Dog walkers should keep an eye out and stick to the paths to avoid any unwanted encounters. Despite this, the natural setting is a lovely place to enjoy some Aussie bush vibes and spot native critters. Just remember to keep your dog on a lead and clean up after them to keep the park enjoyable for everyone.
