Healesville Sanctuary, Australia's premier wildlife park is nestled in the foothills of the Yarra Valley, just one hour from Melbourne. Koalas, dingoes, kangaroos and the unique platypus are just a few of the 200 species of Australian wildlife flourishing in a stunning Australian bushland environment. Get the 'inside story' on the animals that live in the Sanctuary from the people that know them best - their Keepers. Face to face presentations give you the chance to speak to the keepers and experience the thrill of getting up closer than you ever thought possible to the animals in their care. Now open at the Sanctuary is the world-class Australian Wildlife Health Centre, a working wildlife hospital offering unprecedented views into the care of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. Follow the patient journey of rescue, rehabilitation and release, talk with the vets and get involved in the many interactive displays and activities. Other highlights include the Sanctuary's new BHP Billiton Platypusary which reveals the previously hidden world of platypus breeding and care and the not to be missed Birds of Prey flight presentation where you can see a wedge-tailed eagle soar free. Pre-book a Night Creatures encounter at our specially designed nocturnal house and meet some of our lesser know Australian animals or meet one of the stars of the Birds of Prey. Enquire on our Keeper Assist for a morning or Assistant to the Veterinary Team programs - just two very special one-on-one experiences. There are many great reasons to visit Healesville Sanctuary where the Australian bush comes alive. |
