Fast, ferocious and fun: ladybird beetles are one of the most recognisable insects in the insect world. These pretty beetles come in a range of colours, sizes, stripes and spots and are extremely useful in pest control at Sydney Olympic Park.
World Frog Day falls on the 20 March, a day to take a moment, to listen and consider a small, fascinating group of animals that are one of the keys to keeping our wetlands healthy.
With 430 hectares of parklands in Sydney Olympic Park and habitats ranging from wetlands, grasslands to forests, the chance of encountering one of Australia’s unique wildlife is ever present.
Have you stopped to admire a beetle lately? How about thousands?! Spotted recently on Kronos Hill, an amazing swarm of Soldier Beetles were founding mingling on the trunk of a eucalypt.
There’s over 430 hectares of open space within Sydney Olympic Park, giving the kids plenty of space to run wild during the school holidays! We’ve put together a list of our favourite playgrounds at the Park for you to visit.
Sydney Olympic Park is known to have many sensitive habitats for native animals and plants, so it might not spring to mind as the first place to bring your dog. Follow in Benny’s footsteps (or should we say pawprints) and check out some of the best walking paths and off leash parks for you and your dog to explore right here in the Park.
Wetlands are busy places, teeming with life both above and below the surface.
