Wallabies and Kangaroos

An experience like no other. Cape Hillsborough is renowned for its spectacular sunrises. Not only for the vast array of hues that colour the sky but for the greeting you get from the local residents. 

Eastern Grey Kangaroos and Wallabies make their way to the beach front each morning to feed on seaweed and mangrove seed pods which have washed up from the overnight tides. The combination of a sunrise and kangaroos on the beach provides an experience like no other, and that unforgettable picture-perfect photo opportunity.
