Nestled in secluded bushland in the heart of Queensland's Gold Coast, David Fleay Wildlife Park is home to many native animals. Here, animals are displayed in surroundings similar to their natural habitats. Enjoy local native animals as well as rare and threatened species seldom seen in the wild. The endangered cassowary from the north Queensland rainforest, platypus, fresh and saltwater crocodiles, Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo, Mahogany and yellow-bellied gliders, wedge-tail eagles, endangered Gouldian finches and a variety of snakes all call the park home.
