Nestled in a peaceful, leafy setting just a short drive from Sydney city, the sanctuary provides a natural and family-friendly environment where animals are lovingly cared for and guests are warmly welcomed. The Koal...

The pavement is old and uneven so wheelchairs and anyone unsteady on their feet may have a hard time getting around. T...

There are plenty of marsupials to see, as well as dingoes and many varieties of birds and Squamata...

I had wonderful experienced for two hours,and luckily I bump into 2pm koala presentation,and got chance to take photos with koalas in close distance. Every feeding area has affectionate animals (yes I’m talking about the baby goat chewing my jacket in a nice way) And huge thanks for staff Allen! He showed me around and explained very nicely about the zoo, he really brightened my day!
