Wildlife

There’s lots of wildlife around Lorne. We’ve seen koalas and echidnas in previous years, and although we haven’t seen any of these so far this year, we’ve seen the seal and stingrays at the pier as well as kangaroos in Queen’s Park.   In fact there’s quite a school of stingrays, near the pier, including several large ones and a couple of smaller ones.   They like the shallow water close to shore and are best seen at high tide.     And there are plenty of birds around as well. The cockatoos are notorious of course, but there are also kookaburras, black cockatoos, galahs, rosellas, magpies, ducks and honey-eaters to name just a few.
