Adventure Notes
Location
What to Bring
Good walking shoes, water, sunblock in the summer. Togs if you want to have a wee swim at the jetty after.
Time and Distance
The 2.7km loop around the sanctuary took us about an hour, you could definitely spend a lot more time exploring and even having a swim at the boat ramp in summer.
Munchkin Info
Not pram friendly, the first part is steep for young kids but only for a few short minutes.
Cost
The sanctuary itself is free but there is a donation box at the boat ramp, cost of the boat ride as at Jan 2020 with Cougar lines Adults $40 kids $20. You can kayak around if you have your own kayak and are confident enough.
