Your Experience
Located a short drive north of Hobart, this sanctuary focuses on caring for native animals with community-minded caretakers. You will have the opportunity to encounter unique wildlife that cannot be found elsewhere in Australia.
Wildlife Encounters
Get face to face with Tasmanian devils, wombats, koalas, and echidnas under the guidance of keepers. Forester kangaroos roam freely throughout the grounds, offering chances for close observation.
Conservation and Rescue
As Tasmania's largest 24/7 wildlife rescue service, the team works to return injured animals to full health for release. Entry fees directly support these rescue efforts since the organization relies on admissions for funding.
Tours and Leisure
Public tours run daily at 10:00 am, 11:30 am, 1:30 pm, and 3:30 pm, lasting 45 minutes each. For those wishing to wander at their own pace, we recommend allowing a minimum of one hour to explore the site.
