D AV I D F L E AY W I L D L I F E PA R K : A HIDDEN GOLD COAST GEM Nestled in the bushland behind Burleigh Heads is a little-known treasure called the David Fleay Wildlife Park. Established by Dr David Fleay in the 1950s, the wildlife park is a tranquil and quiet habitat for a large variety of wildlife, all of which are endemic to Queensland. Many of the animals, birds and reptiles that call the park home have been rehabilitated after being injured or diseased. If they are unable to be released back into the wild, they are lucky enough to live out their days in the 18 acres of eucalypt forest, rainforest and mangroves of the park. The park offers daily shows and talks with rangers, picnic facilities, bushwalks and an onsite cafe, making it a great morning or afternoon out for families.
