Wildlife
Being set in a bushland setting The Retreat is always attracting plenty of wildlife.
Along with our resident possums we are also fortunate to have many echidnas and Kangaroo’s wandering through the park.
During the warmer months you may see monitor lizards as well as kookaburras, lorikeets, and rosellas. At dawn and dusk we occasionally have kangaroo’s and wallabies passing through.
You’re welcome to bring along a torch to do some evening spot lighting.
We do ask however that you please do not feed the wildlife.
