Kids' Gondwana nature play: 5 to 12 years

As the days get longer, the air feels warmer and the sounds of incredible birdsong fill the rainforest at Dorrigo National Park. These spring school holidays, we’ll take your curious young explorers under our wing for this season’s Nature Play ‘Gondwana Birdsong’ activity, informed by Ranger Andrew Turbill, our very own bird expert.

Learn to find bird nests and to track the movement of predators (goanna, snakes and birds of prey) through the landscape by listening to bird language. The ranger-guided session will introduce them to understanding bird language through sensory and hands-on activities and a short guided walk, to connect with the fascinating bird life flourishing in Dorrigo National Park. 

Sessions are running each Tuesday in the school holidays at 10:30am and 12pm for children (ages 5-12), at only $10 per child - places are limited. The early bird catches the worm, so book your spot book at Kids Gondwana nature play: 5 to 12 years | NSW National Parks.

Parents or carers are welcome to join in or take some time for yourself in the rainforest. Explore an exhibition in the Rainforest Centre, enjoy an uninterrupted cuppa in the cafe, or browse in the shop.

Kids should wear clothes that are sun-safe and okay to get dirty. We recommend long pants, long-sleeved tops to prevent bites and scratches, and sturdy enclosed shoes. Kids should also bring a raincoat, hat and sunscreen.
