Anzac Park Family Fun

If sweeping views of untouched wilderness tickle your fancy, make the journey up to Leven Canyon and immerse yourself in the surrounds while traversing one of the available walking tracks.

If trudging tracks seems like too much hard work on your holiday but you still want to experience nature at its finest, a cruise up the Leven River with Leven River Cruises might be more your style.

Cradle Coast Tours offer a range of different excursions that take in the area, including the Tarkine Forest Reserve. These 477,000 untouched hectares of Tarkine wilderness hold ancient relics of both plants and animals dating back millennia, and unique habitats not found anywhere else in the world.

Then of course, Cradle Mountain is not-to-be missed and is within easy reach of Ulverstone.

Our friendly team at Reception can provide all the information you need to get out and explore the great outdoors. BIG4 Ulverstone Holiday Park is the perfect base!
