Animals

You’ll see lots of native animals at Booderee, from sharing the shores with seals, to catching a glimpse of a swamp wallaby while out walking. Whale-watching is one of our most popular activities – head to the Cape St George Lighthouse for the best view.

Follow these handy hints to increase your chances of seeing Booderee’s abundant wildlife (while keeping yourself safe):

• Early morning and sunset are good times to see wildlife.
• Use a torch to look for nocturnal animals at night. Be careful not to shine strong spotlights onto sleeping birds.
• Look for clues showing where animals have been, especially tracks, droppings and scratchings.
• Animals are often heard before they are seen. Walk quietly, listen and watch for movement.
• Use binoculars to get a closer look.
• Look out for animals crossing roads, including lizards and snakes.
• Do not approach, disturb or feed wildlife.
