Meet Our Servals – Safe Cats Safe Wildlife
Now these are really wild cats! Servals are African wild cats that are normally solitary carnivores and are active both by day and at night.
Welcome to our
Wildlife Sanctuary
Welcome to
Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary
Aboriginal Country
We are a sanctuary for rescued wildlife needing lifetime care, and breed-for-release rewilding programs for endangered animals. Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary is a Heritage listed Aboriginal Cultural landscape with ancient sites dating back more than 4,000 years.
We are a working wildlife sanctuary,
we always put our animals first.
You may meet lots of animals, but please
be aware that the animals choose whether
or how they want to interact with you.
If it makes you happy to see animals roaming free, and if you want to get to know our “in care” animals and why they live in our wildlife sanctuary, you’ll love Walkabout. If you’re interested in Australia’s original people, you can visit ancient Aboriginal sites. Choose whether to take a leisurely stroll around the Animal Loop, or head out to explore the bush tracks, or just relax at the visitor center with a great cup of coffee. Visit for an hour, stay all day, or book a cabin for an overnight experience.
You can buy tickets when you arrive, or purchase online. Online pre-purchased tickets and annual memberships are cheaper. If there is a queue and you already have your tickets, please walk to the front of the queue for fast-tracked entry [this does NOT apply if anyone in your group has to buy a ticket].
"Big Foot" is real and lives in Australia. Meet the macropods. Kangaroos, wallaroos and all kinds of wallabies.
Walk on the wild side with Happy Feet the cuddly emu. Happy would rather hang out with people than birds!
Look for Arnold and Dobby. They‘re usually snoozing in their food. If you don’t see them, look in their leaf pots.
Say hello to Maliki and Mirri. Mirri was rescued at 6 weeks old, a wild orphan. Maliki adores and protects her.
Now these are really wild cats! Servals are African wild cats that are normally solitary carnivores and are active both by day and at night.
