Wild koala spotting!!
We will get here early in the morning and see them roaming on the golf course.

Disclaimer:
As the kangaroos in the golf course are wild kangaroos so they can be everywhere. We cannot guarantee the viewing of kangaroos, sometimes they can be seen close to the car park sometimes they are seen far deep in the golf course.

As this is a private property, access to the grass area of the golf course is strictly prohibited. Kangaroo viewing can only be done inside our vehicle. Passengers are not permitted to leave the vehicle.

If for any reason the kangaroos are not around, we will visit other sightseeing area in Anglesea.
