David Fleay Wildlife Park is home to many native animals. Strolling around the park is easy - there is lots of shade and stopping spots, it's safe for younger and older kids. (prams welcome & easy to navigate around the park) The animals are displayed in surroundings similar to their natural habitats. During a stoll around the park, you can find-

- the endangered southern cassowary from the rainforests of North Queensland
- the playful platypus
- freshwater and estuarine (saltwater) crocodiles
- the near threatened Lumholtz's tree- kangaroo
- yellow-bellied gliders and endangered mahogany gliders

...... to name but a few.

Bring a picnic and have a seat at one of the many spots avaliable to rest, or grab a bite to eat at the onsite cafe (hot & cold food avaliable, as well as coffee).

It's going to be an amazingly fun morning for the kids, and a fabulous opportunity to socialise with other Multiple parents!

WHAT IS MULTIPLE BIRTH AWARENESS WEEK? 

Multiple Birth Awareness Week (MBAW) is a national campaign to raise awareness around, and draw attention to, the unique realities for multiple birth families in Australia - and how advocacy, positive education and engaged communities can contribute to enabling positive health outcomes for families with multiples.

In 2026, the theme for MBAW is: Connected. Supported. Stronger
This Multiple Birth Awareness Week our hope is that by the end of the week, multiple birth parents feel more connected, more supported, and more aware of their own strength — part of a village that understands and uplifts them.

MBAW 2026: Sunday 15 March to Sunday 22 March.

We hope you can join us to celebrate the amazing community of multiple birth families we have here on the Gold Coast - we can't wait to see you there!
