Beautiful native bird life both on and off the water including sea eagles, pelicans, cormorants and ducks to name just a few. Wading birds and armies of soldier crabs frequent the shallows as the tide recedes. Summer afternoons last forever until the sun sets across the water into the national park. As darkness settles, possums rustling and the heavy flutter and chatter of flying foxes can be heard in the treetops and all the while the calming sound of the waves mingled with the calls of sea birds carries in the breeze on balmy summer evenings. The peace and tranquillity of this very special place are unsurpassed.
