2. Discover a living laboratory as you explore the wonders of the multi-award-winning Capricorn Caves. Experience the serenity of spectacular above ground limestone cave system.

4. Take an adventure by foot along Capricorn Coast’s national park hiking tracks and even spot a turtle swimming below from ‘Turtle Lookout’.
5. Cuddle a koala at Cooberrie Park Wildlife Sanctuary – one of the few places in Australia you can get up close and personal with the local residents.
