Taking from the bus hand held torches and spot lights, you will walk quietly and slowly through the Mount Kate hut area. The aim is spot any native animals that have popped out early for a feed. The walk will then take to the local boardwalks of cradle valley. This location presents another great chance of catching wombats undergoing their daily grind.
