By day the area is a birdwatcher's delight and there is also a chance to see the Musky Rat Kangaroo (the smallest and most primitive kangaroo), Boyd's Forest Dragon, and other interesting local endemics. At dusk by the river you have an excellent chance of seeing platypus, the fascinating egg-laying mammal unique to Australia.
After dinner at a country restaurant, you head through the oldest continuously surviving Tropical Rainforest in the world spotlighting, walking quietly along rainforest tracks looking to spot Lumholtz's Tree Kangaroo and the, Green Ringtail possums and other unusual mammals found only in this region. You may also see Bandicoots, Pademelon’s, gecko’s, snakes, gliders, frogs and owls.
