Wauchope is a town in the vicinity of Port Macquarie, and one of its major draws is the charming Timbertown Pioneer Village, with many homes making up a replica of the old timber towns of the 19th century. Visitors can watch craftsmen make colonial furniture, tour the area in old-fashioned horse-drawn carriages, and enjoy a historical playground. The Billabong Zoo Koala & Wildlife Park is famous for breeding koalas and is also home to local fauna - such as dingoes and crocodiles. Exotic animals, such as penguins and snow leopards, are also displayed for more entertainment. At some distance from here, there are also many state forests and parks, such as Bellangry State Forest, Mount Boss State Forest, and Werrikimbe National Park.
