Get in touch

Limestone outcrops and dense, decorated caves are roosting sites for more than 80% of Australia's breeding population of little bent-wing bats. The park is also one of the few places in Australia that supports a colony of vulnerable ghost bats.

In summer, join a ranger-guided tour to Bat Cleft and experience the rush of thousands of tiny bats flashing past you (fees apply). Tours run for about three hours in the evening under torchlight along the Mount Etna walk (2.4km return). Tours operate in summer from December to late January on Friday and Saturday evenings. Bookings are required and fees apply. Payment is accepted by credit or debit card at the start of each tour. Minimum booking numbers apply. Book your place early as tours are restricted to 10 people to ensure everyone has good views of the bats.

Explore the park on foot along the Cammoo circuit and Mount Etna trail. Enjoy a BBQ picnic in the day-use area. At the information shelter learn about the park’s unique bats, conflict-filled past and the remnant dry rainforest.
