A great environment for viewing native australian wildlife in their natural surroundings, possums, echidnas, goannas and wombats are some of the most often seen animals. At the top of The Hideaway, near our entrance, a kangaroo can often be seen lazing around and sunning itself.

The mountains are also a bird watchers paradise with many colourful parrots and other species in and around the National Park. The trees opposite the tables next to the pool at the Hideaway are a perfect perch for many native birds, and morning time is certainly a chirpy orchestra of bird sounds. The list of birds you'll most likely see includes: Black or Sulpher Crested Cockatoos; King Parrots; Eastern or Crimson Rosellas; Galahs, Wedge Tailed Eagles; Currawongs & Gang Gangs. The Peregrine Falcon found in the Blue Mountains can fly at 280km/h.
