Rocky River

Once a farm, Rocky River, the area around the park visitor center, is now a rampant hotbed of wildlife, with kangaroos, wallabies and Cape Barren geese competing for your affections. A slew of good walks launch from behind the visitor center, including the Rocky River Hike, on which you might spy a platypus (9km loop, three hours). Park fees apply.
