Highlights
- Explore an Australian rainforest using night-vision goggles
- Spot a variety of wildlife like possum, pademelon, bandicoot, and more
Description
Joining this tour, you will explore an Australian rainforest at night, searching for nocturnal wildlife. However, instead of wielding a torch, you will wear special night vision goggles. This is military-grade technology that lets you see animals as they go about their business. Because we don’t use bright lights we are less intrusive and that means we can be more connected to what is going on all around us. Nights with less moonlight are best for using night vision. On a typical night, we see five species. Our regular sightings include possum, pademelon, bandicoot, tawny frogmouth, leaf-tailed gecko, fucsipes, melomys, microbats, and frogs. After the tour, enjoy a hot chocolate gazing up at the starry night.
