It now serves as one of the country\u2019s main wildlife attractions, and the only zoo in Australia with a venom milking program that\u2019s been in place for the past 50 years. Each year, the park saves over 300 lives by being the sole supplier for a variety of venoms, used for all snake and funnel-web anti-venom in Australia.<\/p>\n If the park\u2019s lifesaving venom program doesn\u2019t convince the kids, perhaps the other wildlife encounters will. They can hand-feed the kangaroos in the free-range roaming area, stop by on weekends to see the resident crocodiles, alligators, dingos and koalas get fed by the park rangers, and stroll through Tarantula-ville: home to some of the largest spiders in Australia.<\/p>\n Like all good contemporary zoos, The Australian Reptile Park also places an important emphasis on conservation work, with their \u2018Devil Ark\u2019 program helping to repopulate the endangered Tasmanian devil.<\/p>\n The Australian Reptile Park serves as one of the country\u2019s main wildlife attractions.<\/p><\/div>\n Eleven-year-old me would have squealed with excitement at the idea of an Aqua Park<\/a> like this one.

It\u2019s a short drop into the splashing water below and kept buoyant by a mandatory life jacket. The park is also fully supervised by the trained lifeguards of Brisbane Water Gosford.<\/p>\n Kids can spend the day navigating the inflatable obstacle course filled with swings, slides, monkey bars and more!<\/p><\/div>\n Find Somersby Falls<\/a> hidden away just 15 minutes from Gosford\u2019s town centre. The waterfall itself is a mighty and unique feature of the secluded little hangout, trickling or gushing (depending on rainfall) down the weathered rocks that are shouldered by deep green forest. Visitors can stand under the cascading water and swim in the surrounding pools.<\/p>\n The neighbouring picnic area is the perfect place to enjoy an al fresco lunch. Find free barbeques and picnic tables for use.
