Although the Forest Den National Park was named after one of five grazing paddocks which covered the property over the past century, these days the park is mainly covered by untouched Australian bush and is an important wildlife refuge. The stunning semi-permanent waterholes along Torrens and Paradise Creeks and are heavily populated by the nature kingdom. Flora and Fauna Dusk and dawn are the breath taking bird watching times of day where you can see whistling kites, brown falcons, white ibis, egrets and rufous-throated honeyeaters. Don't forget your camera and binoculars as you may spot squatter pigeons hiding in the grass. Gaze into the trees to see sugar gliders and brushtail possums or Beccari's freetail bats skimming over the water surface. Native Trees such as river red gums, coolibahs and paperbarks fringe the creek and waterholes
