The Valley is a rich breeding site and home for many native and visiting Birds, including cockatoos, parrots, paRoadalotes, splendid and wedge-tailed eagles. It is also home to kangaroos, possums, bats and other native wildlife. Springtime, from mid-September to early November, is the best time to visit with the wildlife and flowers at their peak.

If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police.
