About This Weekend
From 18 – 20 Sep, you get the chance to be one of the first to see the two Quokkas in their brand-new habitat, Quokka Nook.
We will celebrate their arrival with daily pop-up activations, Wildlife Keeper chats, face painting and a kids’ colouring competition. You will also get to suggest what we should name the Quokkas, going into the draw to win a trip for two to Rottnest Island worth over $2600, including flights, accommodation, return ferry and 3 day car hire! Imagine exploring one of the only places in the world where you’ll find over ten thousand Quokkas, all for free thanks to Trip.com.
National Trust Queensland members enjoy something extra special on top of all that, including free keyrings and Quok-tails (cocktails).
