In reply to Pepita Spencer. Hi Pepita, I don't have any connection with the park other than being someone who loves walking its trails. The Gold Coast council website has a section on their website to report issues with city parks and there's a specific form option in there for dilapidated fences adjoining city land, that might be a good place to start.

I live in Siena Place. My back fence is on the boundry of the conservation park. I wish to replace said fence as it is old & detriating & almost falliing inwards. I wish to know who to discuss this with.

Wow! Thanks for this... Very well written and fun to read. I just stumbled across this, and am very glad I did!! It's extremely important to inform people of how to respect any wild animal but still encourage them to admire them and this does exactly that :).

In reply to Arzo Travels. They won't go after you, unless you were cornering it you'd be fine. Hope it was OK if it found its way onto a busy street. In quite a few Australian towns and even cities they can be found in parks or around houses. We stayed with a friend on the Gold Coast once and thought someone was breaking in during the night but it was a kangaroo that had found it's way into the back garden on its own and the poor thing couldn't get over the side gate to get back out and was panicked. Poor thing. So hard on the wildlife as development of their habitat continues.

Now that I think about it, I haven't seen a kangaroo up close!!! But I totally agree with you as well on your point about how we should give them the space they need. I'm an advocate of being an observer of animals only so as not to disturb them in their natural habitat 😀

Lovely recommendations on seeing Kangaroos. Important tip to not feed them and to respect that wild animals are wild! People forget too often when they're trying for a selfie or perfect shot.

These are beautiful pictures. I, however, am a bit scared of kangaroos, after I all of a sudden saw one on a street and it was getting quite close. I know the can kick very hard so it scared me like crazy but apparently I survived without any injuries, haha. Such parks might be a safer environment 🙂

Thanks for sharing this secret spot! I love seeing Australia's native wildlife - especially in wild :-) And it's great to know you don't have to go too far from Surfers Paradise to find them!
