The event is finally going ahead this weekend after being postponed earlier this month due to wet weather.
Organisers have their fingers crossed that this Sunday will deliver the perfect opportunity for families to indulge in an environmental journey.
There will be interactive native wildlife displays, food trucks and sustainability workshops and talks.
Come along to get up close and personal with the ringtail possum, green tree frog, tawny frogmouth, diamond python and even a lace monitor.

Maitland council's environment and sustainability manager Catherine Pepper said events like these are important to bring the community together to connect with Maitland's environment.
"This is a great day to learn about and experience Maitland's environment or just get a bite to eat with your friends and family," she said.
"This will be a great day out, but don't forget an umbrella."
The event will be held on Sunday between 11am and 2pm at Beryl Humble Oval in Tenambit.
There will be free native seedlings and compost giveaways.
