Our Animals

Our animals are primarily Tasmanian and Australian native animals, rehabilitated wildlife that cannot be released, and surrendered pets. Along with a vast amount of actual 'wildlife', that uses our bushland and wetland as a sanctuary. 

  • We have 150 acres of natural bushland which is home to our friendly mob of Forester kangaroos, Bennett's wallaby's, White wallaby's and pademelons.

    You can buy a small bag or two of kangaroo feed from our visitor entry desk and feed them all day long, it's a great way to entertain the kids.

  • Not everyone loves reptiles, but we do. We have a small collection of Tasmanian reptiles which include the Tiger snake, Mountain dragon and Blotched blue tongue lizards.

    Summer is the best time to see our reptiles as during winter they are in a type of hibernation called 'Torpa'.

    We have the largest walk through aviary in Tasmania with a wide range of parrot species. Our Aviary mostly house surrendered pets and rehabilitated animals that cannot be released back into the wild, such as our Tawny frog mouth and magpie. For avid bird watches Natureworld is also a good spot to get your telescopic lens or binoculars out and view the wild wetland birds, such as swans, pelicans and pied oyster catchers on the natural lagoon.

    Our Parrots include:

    • Eclectus parrots

    • Long billed corella

    • Sulfur-crested cockatoo

    • Galah

    • King parrot

    • Gang gang cockatoo

    • Yellow tail black cockatoo

    Our free ranging birds include:

    • Peacocks

    • Guinea fowl

    • Cape Barron geese

    • Swamp hens

    • Australian Shelduck

  • Wombats and Echidna's are always a highlight among visitors with the ability to see them out and about during the day. You can also get closer to them through our conservation encounters. Make sure you enquire about the encounters so you don't miss out.

    ​The Bare- nosed wombat is the only species found in Tasmania, although once known as the common wombat. We occasionally look after and rehabilitate wombat joey's whos mum's have been hit by cars.

  • 70% of Australia's wildlife is nocturnal, our nocturnal house is on a reverse light cycle system, so animals that are usually sleeping during the day, come out to play.

    As you walk through our nocturnal house you might encounter golden brush-tail possums, sugar gliders, bandicoots and Masked Owls.

    You can also also book one of our VIP feeding tours, or encounters to get up close to these nocturnal creatures of the dark.

  • Have you ever seen a Quoll? or even know what they are. We have two different species of Quoll in our Quoll house. The Spotted-Tail Quoll and the Eastern Quoll.

    They are cousins of the Tasmanian Devil, they are sometimes referred to as the native cat, and all of them are threatened species.

    This is a great place to walk through any time of the day with glass window viewing so you can see all the spots up close, and learn about these animals and the threats that compromise their survival

Plus the Tasmanian Devil...
