If you want to do multiple walks at Tower Hill I suggest thinking about your timing so you can enjoy the sunset here. Timing is important as once the sun comes down no one really wants to be doing any hiking. For this reason I'd suggest arriving about two hours before sunset so you can get as many walks as you like completed before the sun comes down.

Kangaroo at Tower Hill

There is quite a bit of wildlife within Tower Hill and everytime I have visited there have been kangaroos and emus about. If you are lucky enough there will also be koalas. Tower Hill is home to grey kangaroos, emus, koalas and more than 150 bird species. The kangaroos and emus make for great snaps and entertainment for the kids as they hang around the visitor centre.
