The Karana Downs- Mt.Crosby area is well known for its high quality of life which we who live there and visitors alike appreciate and cherish. An important part of the attractiveness of the area is the setting which is one of extensive bushland which attracts a wide range of wildlife including :

• over 50 bird species, the most commonly sighted being kookaburras, magpies, cockatoos, brush turkeys, ducks and parrots.
• over 30 other wildlife, the most commonly sighted being wallabies and possums.
