Seasons

The Zoo is in a rural area of Queensland. It can be hot in summer and cold in winter.

So bring:

  • a hat
  • cool clothes for the hot days, but it doesn’t hurt to cover up
  • warm clothes for the colder days. And, a wind cheater for those westerly winter winds.

Walking

Our paths are outdoor country paths, so bring good, comfortable walking shoes, walking aids and an umbrella if it’s going to rain.

We provide free sunscreen and fly spray for your convenience.

Hygiene

It is in everyone’s interest to maintain social distancing and good hygiene.

Hand sanitising stations are located throughout the zoo and hand washing facilities are available near our Lions and in the toilet blocks.
