David Fleay Wildlife Park

Reviewed By TrippyBee20 - Townsville, Australia

So many animals and birds free to come and go. Loved this. Many aviaries had free flight, good displays and caring staff. Grounds clean and tidy. Dragons running around everywhere and tawny frogmouths asleep in the trees. Loved it.

The Tumgum lookout is a nice and easy walk either from Burleigh Point or from the Tullebudgera Creek bridge. The walk through the national park forrest is beautiful and peaceful ad the view from the lookout is also nice.

Burleigh Head National Park

Reviewed By 333Sally333 - Burleigh Heads, Australia

The national park at Burleigh Heads is a treasure...it over looks the the ocean and puts you in touch with wildlife and nature. There are 2 main walking tracks - the lower track is easy and only takes about 15 mins to reach the other end, which is the Tallebudgera creek bridge, which you can then go for a swim in the creek. The upper track is a bit more challenging and hilly but worth it for the views at the top. It also ends at the same place as the lower track. You can walk one way on the lower track and come back on the upper so you cover both tracks. There are lots of vantage points along the way to watch the surfers catch waves or watch boats go across the breakers into the creek. Many bush turkeys make their homes in the park as well as many lizards and i have also spotted an echidna - so amazing. Its a nice stroll up from the village of Burleigh. Many people use it as their running route.

John Laws Park

Reviewed By JenniferAR131 - Brisbane, Australia

A family member was married here last Saturday (thankfully after the rain earlier in the week had cleared) The grass was lovely and green, and the backdrop of the grass, rocks and ocean was perfect. A lovely park used by so many people at all hours every day, and the sunsets here are magical, with views to Surfers Paradise.

Justins Park

Reviewed By diannef665

This park is always being maintained, so it's usually in very good condition, although if they plant a tougher grass there, the council wouldn't have to keep replacing it. Ideal spot for picnics and BBQ's or just for hanging out.
