Crocodylus Park
This park, a breeding complex, features hundreds of giant reptiles. Tours include a feeding demonstration and a chance to cuddle a baby croc. A mini zoo houses lions and other big cats, spider monkeys, marmosets, tamarinds and large birds, including ostriches and cassowaries. A comprehensive museum covers all things croc related.

East Point Reserve

This spit of undeveloped bushland north of Fannie Bay is good to visit in the late afternoon when the wallabies come out to feed. A cool breeze usually springs up as you watch the sunset across the bay. There's also a salt-water, jellyfish-free lake where swimming is possible all year round.
