Begin the day with a short drive to Somersby to visit the world-renowned hands-on zoo the Australian Reptile Park that boasts loads of animal interaction and exciting wildlife shows. Cuddle up to koalas, kangaroos and wombats or hold a massive python. You can also learn about the lifesaving work the Park does through its antivenom program and important conservation work.

In the afternoon head to Calga to see native bush and animals roaming free, learn about bush tucker and bush medicine, and enjoy a bush walk, at Australian Walkabout Wildlife Park all on heritage-listed bushland.

The evening stay in one of Australian Walkabout Wildlife Park eco-cabins in the Australian bush equipped with the comforts of home. Wake with the kookaburras laughing, maybe a kangaroo on your veranda or an emu at the window.

Drive to Brooklyn, on arrival head straight to Sydney Oyster Farm Tours where you can take a boat tour of an operating oyster farm to learn about oyster leases and taste freshly harvested Sydney Rock oysters on the boat.

Next visit Broken Bay Pearl Farm to immerse yourself in the story of the Australian Pearl and discover the hidden gem of New South Wales – the Australian Akoya pearl. Then finish your tour at the Shellar Door in style with a gourmet grazing lunch from Salt Pig Deli and freshly shucked local oysters, all while enjoying the stunning views of Spectacle Island and the Hawkesbury River.

Depart Mooney Mooney for Killcare and head to Bells at Killcare for a dinner at The Wild Flower Bar & Dining where the menus are grounded in their core values of authenticity, simplicity and freshness, featuring seasonal dishes inspired by the produce grown and harvested in their famous kitchen gardens or sourced from local producers.
