The Mt Surprise Tourist Park has been established since 1976 and has been owned by the same family since then Trish Wallace built, owns and manages the establishment and is extremely knowledgeable about the area and what’s on offer.

Trish makes her own jewellery, breeds native and exotic birds, is a wildlife carer, is a long-term collector of gems and minerals, and has a wealth of knowledge regarding the local area.

In the shop there is a gallery of gems wrung from the ground there are gems of every type & hue and all of them are sound. Then there are the aviaries filled with birds I cannot name of different size and colour their bird calls not are the same.

Have you seen the miniature horses? In their stables down the back in every respect a true horse. Then, of course, there’s petrol to send you on your way with lots of helpful info to make a traveller’s day.
