Night Walk Adventure

Ocean Beach Trail

Paid Event 

4pm - Friday June 19 

Join us in the Ocean Beach Conservation Area for a fun and informative guided night walk, looking for the sights, sounds, tracks and traces of Tasmania’s unique nocturnal wildlife.

At twilight, you will learn how to identify Strahan/Tasmanian wildlife along with their burrows, scats, tracks, calls and footprints.

You will discover interesting facts about nocturnal creatures, including their ecology and behaviour as we walk through a Eucalyptus forest before arriving at Tasmania’s longest beach. 

​As the sky darkens we will begin our spotlighting, in search of our local wildlife... we never know what we will see, but we have fun walking in the night, trying to spot them.​​
