Description
This special edition of the Night Walks in the Cairns Botanic Gardens has been adapted for families during the school holidays and busy season. With an earlier start time and shorter duration.
Experience a Night Walk in the Cairns Botanic Gardens. Every evening is different. Being in nature offers an exciting and unpredictable experience full of surprises.
The tour will introduce you to the much-loved White-lipped tree frogs and many other species of amphibians. For those who like spiders, there are many that can be seen on the tour such as Net-casting spiders, Mirror-ball Spiders, Huge Orb-weavers, and Huntsmans. People not fond of spiders will be relieved to know that they are usually happily weaving their webs or sitting on tree trunks. We see an abundance of nocturnal insects like moths, crickets, beetles, and stick insects. Most of these animals only come out at night and therefore are unseen by most people.
Other animals that can be seen on a Let’s Go Buggin Night Walk include Micro-bats, Papuan Frogmouths, Striped Possums, Speckled Flying Foxes, Pythons, Bandicoots, Pademelons and Echidnas.
