You'll get to touch some of their incredible creatures. Witness things that growl, hop and slither getting stuck into their evening meals. You'll see one of the biggest Saltwater Crocs in Australia. Hand-feed their big mob of friendly kangaroos. See the Tasmanian devil at his most active. Cuddle the koalas. During the Wildnight Adventure, you will also experience traditional culture with members of the Jaran Dance Troupe, who provide the only daily Aboriginal and Islander dance performance on the Gold Coast.
