Alexandra Park & Zoo
The small Alexandra Park & Zoo is tucked into a green corner on the banks of the Burnett River. A handful of animals, including the ubiquitous kangaroo and some vivid and vocal parrots, reside here. It's a pretty spot and the large, grassy park begs for a picnic. There's a 1km boardwalk from here that follows the river to the Riverside Parklands – a narrow stretch of greenery with riverside barbecues and picnic tables, and night markets on the first Friday of each month between September and April.
