VIP Ticket Inclusions
* 60-minute guided walk
Step back in time and experience the Australian bush as it was 100 years ago on this 1-hour walk through Mulligans. Bring your torches and your best animal-spotting eyes as we will embark on an adventure into the night.
You and your guide will go looking for some of the nocturnal animals that call Mulligans home, this could be possums, sugar gliders or even - if you’re lucky - an Eastern Bettong!
Tours will run to a pre-booked schedule - don't miss your scheduled time.
