Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary
Bonorong Wildlife Park is a wildlife centre located at Brighton in Tasmania’s south. At Bonorong Park the Tasmanian Devils are active during the day, so you can view them at any time. The park also boasts wombats, koalas, echidnas, birds and many more amazing natives. A real highlight is the free-ranging kangaroos that you can walk right next to. On entry you’ll receive complimentary kangaroo food for hand feeding.
Bonorong offers a very hands-on experience rare in other zoos and wildlife parks across the world, allowing you to view and share special moments with Australia’s unique wildlife.

Went out here with my nanna. It is lovely and quiet and situated in the grassy slopes of country Tasmania. It's a couple of hours well spent. Informative talks and furry little critters of all types to pat, feed and observe. What's not to like? Park fees are reasonable and look after the gorgeous creatures calling it home. If you, like most love your animals as well as spying a Tasmanian devil or two it's worth the trip which is also full of gorgeous scenery.
