What to expect
Leave the city bustle behind and set off late-morning for an afternoon and evening immersed in nature, wildlife, and open spaces in the stunning Southern Highlands. With your wildlife guide, you’ll explore private farmland and untouched bushland, watching for kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, emus—and, if you’re lucky, the elusive platypus. As you wander this peaceful landscape, learn about the Great Western Wildlife Corridor, a vital habitat link that helps animals move safely between the southern Blue Mountains and Morton National Park. Parrots flash through the trees, and surprises await around every corner. At dusk, visit a quiet river to search for wild platypus - a rare, magical sight. After dinner at Australia’s oldest licensed inn, finish the night spotlighting gliders, possums, and wombats before returning to Sydney. It’s a unforgettable experience that leaves you with a deeper connection to Australia’s wild side.
