At Oaks Lake Crackenback Resort we have a resident wombat that we have named Wally. Wally lives on the corner of Bullocks Drive and Rocky Road.

Children can draw a picture or write a letter to Wally and deliver it to his mailbox. Wally reads all his letters and may even respond to the children’s letters.

There are some great walks around the resort for spotting wildlife including many of Wally’s friends including kangaroos, deers, emus and possums.

Cuisine Restaurant offers a Wally the Wombat children’s menu.
