The Easter Bunny has been sighted at Hunter Wetlands Centre.
A group of volunteers at the not-for-profit organisation say a rabbit’s trail was spotted in the 45-hectare site earlier this week.
After following a distinctly chocolate scent, they crossed paths with the “once-a-year” creature and offered it a ride home.
Jenny, who drove the bunny back into bushland, told it to be back on-site for some Easter fun on Saturday 8 April from 9.30am to 1.30pm.
Apparently there will be plenty of Easter crafts, a jumping castle, dip-netting, story-time, reptile display and a bunny trail to follow.
The Easter Bunny even agreed to take photos with kids at 10 am, 11 am or noon.
Entry is just $7.50 each (or $25 for a family ticket) and all ages can enjoy the activities, with money going straight back into the upkeep of the beautiful, internationally-acclaimed wildlife sanctuary.
“Stay for lunch and enjoy a sausage sizzle, eat at the Wetlands Café or bring a picnic,” says Hunter Wetlands Centre CEO Ken Bayliss.
“The main activities finish at 1.30pm but you can stay until 4pm and explore the wetlands.”
Entry is by pre-purchased ticket only.
