3. Search by Walking Track

This search is designed to show you what type of plants/animals are located on each of the different walk sections that are located in the park. You will be able to perform this type of search by clicking on the "Park Map" button located on the main menu bar at the top of this screen.

To perform this type of search follow these steps:

    • You will then see a screen similar to the one below. You can see that there are three drop lists. These lists define what things you will see. The month list enables you to see what species are viewable on this section of the track in a particular month. The other two lists allow you to select what type of species you want to see and whether or not they are introduced or not.
