Up Close and Wild
Wildlife Encounters at Walkabout Creek
If you’re curious about wildlife and enjoy getting up close with some of Australia’s interesting creatures, look no further than Walkabout Creek. Nestled in the heart of nature just outside Brisbane, this is the place to find wildlife encounters on Brisbane’s doorstep.
Let’s explore whats on offer….
The Walkabout Creek Discovery Centre
Start your journey at the Walkabout Creek Discovery Centre, managed by Queensland Parks & Wildlife Services. The centre is your gateway to a world teeming with wildlife wonders. You’ll find yourself surrounded by exhibits that introduce you to the unique animals that call this place home.
Wildlife Discovery Show
Learn about Queensland’s scaly, slippery and furry wildlife at the informative ranger-led Wildlife Discovery Show held every Saturday and Sunday at 10.00am and 1.30pm. Tickets can be purchased at the Discovery Centre and include same day admission to the centre or online at Queensland Parks & Wildlife Services.
Meet the Locals
From the comfort of the café deck watch the local tree kangaroos play in their enclosure below or wander along the path and look for our resident wombat.
Explore the Surrounding Wilderness
Beyond the enclosures, the nature surrounding Enoggera Reservoir is waiting to be explored. Take a stroll on one of the many trails through the wetlands and bush and discover what lives near the waters edge. Catch a glimpse of the freshwater turtles sunning themselves on a log and listen to the birdsong. If you’re lucky, you might even encounter a wallaby or two hopping through the bushland.
