Definitely one of the most memorable moments from my time in Australia. Once you're at Central…read moreStation in Sydney, you can take a train that goes to Morisset which takes about 2 hours. Once you arrive at the station, there's a shuttle (I think it said "Kroozn Kangaroo" or something of that nature on the side) that will take you straight to the kangaroos! I didn't know about this so I was lucky I saw it. It'll cost you $3 one way per person and it's only like a 5 minute drive (but a 50 minute walk!). When you want to go back to the station from the park, you'll have to call the number on the shuttle and ask him to return, or you can just hang out at the park until the shuttle inevitably comes back with more visitors. I think the shuttle stops at like 4:30 p.m. so just be aware. Regardless of what you see elsewhere, such as Yelp, TripAdvisor, or some other site, do. not. feed. them. There are signs that say not to but they're easy to miss because they're on the outskirts of the park. Apparently the kangaroos are becoming aggressive for food. Of course, there are going to be a lot of people who do it anyways, which made the shuttle driver very mad when he saw it (he also threatened to have people fined since his shuttle had a camera that recorded the incident). The park itself has nothing at all, so go to the bathroom at the station and bring food/water (for yourself). The kangaroos are surprisingly tame so you can get pretty close for some great pictures. Overall it's an awesome experience and definitely worth the trip!

The park is far away from the city, it is about 100 km of Sydney (3 hours by public transportation), however it is worth to go as you will be too closer to your buddy. The kangaroos jump freely here, you can touch and feed them (PLEASE feed the kangaroos with carrot. DO NOT feed them with bread!) The park it all isn't amazing, however the entrance is free and it is worth to see the kangaroos in their wildlife! Moreover it has a picnic area, barbecue grill and a beautiful view of Macquarie Lake. The kangaroos are cute and sweet and when they see the carrots they come to you. Sometimes they do quickly moves, but they don't cause any harm to you! Just be aware with the kids because some of them are big. There is nothing around the park, bring your own water, fruits and food! **Parking is free

It's shaded and little nooks to take a seat and enjoy your time out. It has a sunny disposition with easy access to the little shopping village across the way and other shops in walking distance.

It's everything a north coast beach should be, you can run and bake and surf and read in perfect, pristine privacy, or something very closely approximating it. Don't know if the surf is any good? Get ye up the wooden lookout tower near the car park and have your bad self a look-see. Mebbe there's waves. Mebbe there ain't. Either way it's worth your while. It's super close to town too, so if you wanted to, ohhhh I don't now, mebbe get some hot chips wrapped up in butcher's paper and take them down to the sand to scoff, that's entirely within the realms of possibility.

Amazing view that will never get old. A prime spot for walking, picnicking, car or people watching,…read morerelaxing and whale watching. Bring the kids for a play in the park and lunch by the rotunda. Or grab some cardboard for a slide down the hill. A popular spot for lawn parties and wedding ceremonies. A shame The Mattara Hill Climb is no longer held here but you will still see plenty of cars treating it like their own hill race. Cons for me are the regular smokers and obnoxious music blaring out of at least one car every visit. I've hit 30. Everything annoys me lol.

Neat park but it not very well lit at night which is a little sad. On the bright side (see what I…read moredid there?) it has a fantastic view of Newcastle that makes for some very good photos. There's also the Anzac memorial walk which is very close by and worth certainly worth seeing.
