Yes, we have a covid plan, and yes, we do use it.
We have added to our procedures to keep everyone safe. To help us and each other, please...
1: Although we prefer it if you buy your tickets online before you get here to avoid crowding, you can buy your tickets when you arrive.
2: Phone us on (02) 43751100 if you want us to help you with your ticket purchase.
3: Keep MORE THAN 1 emu length apart. We've got 80 acres so there's lots of space for you to spread out.
4: If you have a cold or you're not well, please postpone your visit. We'll change your ticket date to when you are feeling better.
5: You do not have to wear a mask - indoors or outdoors - but we do ask that, if you are in a situation when you are close to others e.g. if you are gathering close together for an animal encounter, that you do wear a mask in those situations.
6: If you're concerned about anything when you are here, please tell us so that we can deal with it.
Our animals need you
Nov to May 2020 BUSHFIRES, STORMS, then COVID: Closed for 5 weeks to evacuate our animals to safety and to defend the sanctuary against spot fires; Closed for 2 weeks to repair storm damage; Closed for 2 months while we all worked to flatten the covid curve.
Since June 2020: Our main source of revenue for our animals' upkeep, our international residential pre-veterinary school and international student eco-volunteers, unable to visit Australia. Although we are open to the public and our wonderful local community is visiting and trying to help, our income is stilld down 70%+ with no overseas visitors.
After October 2021: As financial aid progressively decreases then falls away, we're paying our staff what we can afford. We had a plan to reduce workload so we can live within our means, but our amazing ranger team refuses to give up, and every one is filling in the gaps with volunteer days. No-one is prepared to compromise on the animals' care. So now even our (previously) paid staff are volunteers.

Walkabout Park was established to protect animals that come into care, breed endangered animals for release back into the wild and to provide an experiential learning space for students. This is a place where visitors can immerse themselves in the animals' world and understand why and how to save their homes, food and wildlife corridors. Walkabout Park is on Darkinjung and Guringai land in a rich Aboriginal landscape. Ancient knowledge teaches how to care for country. Animals can look after themselves, as long as their habitat is healthy. Sadly, it is the actions of people that pose the most risk to wild habitat.

Walkabout Park is fun!
A fun and fascinating place to visit for all ages and abilities. Few things beat a day (or, even better, overnight) in the Australian bush with friendly animals. A zoo license allows the team to give permanent care to the animals so that they can live out their lives in the sanctuary if they cannot go back into the wild. That is where the similarities with conventional zoos end. Step into the animals' world and go walkabout with the friendliest wild wildlife in Australia.
