Explore the trail and see if you can spot these Aussie icons
Girrga: Native bee
Native bees are super important helpers that pollinate flowers, fruits, and veggies. Some Australian native bees don’t sting at all, so they’re gentle garden friends. They can even buzz to shake pollen loose, like a tiny superhero power!

Gumal: Eagle hawk (wedge-tailed eagle)
The wedge-tailed eagle is Australia’s largest bird of prey, with wings wider than a grown-up is tall. It soars high in the sky, using sharp eyesight to spot food far below. These powerful birds can fly for hours without flapping their wings!

Mikiri: Echidna
Echidnas are covered in spiky spines to keep them safe from predators. They use their long, sticky tongues to slurp up ants and termites—yum! Even though they look like hedgehogs, they actually lay eggs like reptiles.
