Big 4 Yarra Valley Holiday Park, Healesville

Entering the Big 4 Healesville, is like entering a nature playground. You are surrounded with the wildlife as you walk in.

Parrots, cockatoos, and other birds are flying around everywhere, especially in the park area. The reception has birdseed you can use to feed them. They are very friendly, and will even fly down and perch themselves on your shoulder or eat from your hand.

Kangaroos can be seen bouncing around in the early morning, and late afternoons. We had a few come up close to our tent just after breakfast!

Koalas can often be seen in the gum trees, and you may even see a wombat or two if you are lucky.
