At Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park you can visit the friendliest wild Aussie animals, with over 180 species roaming free and happy in the bush. Why not come and visit our ancient Aboriginal sites and learn how to connect with the land? Here are just some of the reasons why everyone loves Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park ...  

To learn about the bilby, and the conservation work that
Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park and others are doing to
help save the bilby, just click on this picture of the little bilby on the right ►►►►►►►►►►►►


Everyone, please, we need your help to save us from forced closure due to sandmining activity on our border. 

You can make a difference.  We must persuade the Hon. Tony Kelly, NSW Minister for Planning, to stop Rocla NZ from putting in a new sand mine which will destroy Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park.
