| Other info | ● Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary is an outdoor all-weather venue and in the event of inclement weather tours will proceed as normal. ● Daily tours are walking tours, no other form of transport is provided. ● All participants must agree to follow instructions given by the keeper. ● All interactions will be instigated by the animal. ● Participants will not be able to hold animals, but where appropriate will be able to pat them under supervision of the keeper. ● Parents or adult guardians must take responsibility for participating children at all times. ● Participants may be asked to leave the enclosure at any time during the encounters at the discretion of staff. ● Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary reserves the right to refuse admission or to eject a ticket holder for behaviour likely to cause damage, injury, nuisance, annoyance or for failure to comply with reasonable requests. ● Companion dogs - although Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary tries to do their best to cater for all visitors, it is unfortunately not possible for seeing-eye dogs to be brought to Bonorong. Allowing dogs (however well behaved) near the free-ranging kangaroos in the Sanctuary could frighten the mob and risk the safety of visitors, staff and animals. ● Guests should be aware they may be photographed during experiences for media and marketing purposes. If guests do not wish to be photographed please inform the guide. ● Flash photography is permitted only under the direction of the keeper. ● The car park can accommodate up to 60 vehicles, with additional area for overflow parking. While there are no designated parking spaces for campervans, motorhomes and RVs Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary usually always hase space for them. Ask one of the friendly staff when you arrive if you are unsure where to park. ************************************************************************************************************ 【Important Post-Covid Service Information】 For the most up-to-date visitor information, please refer to- https://www.bonorong.com.au/ |

Day Pass
BONORONG - A SANCTUARY FOR TASMANIA'S WILDLIFE
Bonorong operates Tasmania's largest 24/7 Wildlife Rescue Service and their army of volunteers brings aid to thousands of suffering animals every year.
This service is funded entirely by the entry fees. This means every time Bonorong rescues an animal it is because someone like you came through the gate.
Bonorong is not a zoo – their aim is to get healthy animals back to the wild. All of them undergo meticulous assessment to ensure they are happy and healthy in our care, which is something they will never compromise on.
Every single one of the animals has a story to tell. At Bonorong you will meet animals that are extinct everywhere except the island refuge.
Their ever-changing menagerie of survivors includes wombats, devils, quolls, native birds, koalas, lizards, snakes and emus.
ANIMALS AT BONORONG WILDLIFE SANCTUARY
All the animals are with Bonorong for a reason, and they'd love to share their stories with you. Below are just some of the animals you may meet at the Sanctuary.
- Forester kangaroos
- Tasmanian devils
- Wombats
- Koalas
- Sugar gliders
- Eastern quolls
- Sulphur-crested cockatoos
- Yellow-tailed black cockatoos
- Tawny frogmouths
- Randall and Luigi the echidnas
- Tasmanian bettongs
- ...and much more!
DAILY TOURS
Full public tours are included in your entry fee and take place every day. The keepers will take you around to the wombat, devil and koala enclosures to provide information and an up-close experience.
Please note that sometimes the animals wish to remain hidden during the tour due to weather conditions (or just being nice and cosy in bed!). In these instances, the keepers may substitue for another species such as the echidna.
All public tours allow visitors to see the Tassie devil eat a snack and learn about their quirky personalities, as well as some of the threats they face and the efforts to help protect them.

Bonorong not only does aim to entertain you, they are committed to ensuring that you leave Bonorong with the tools to help conserve Tasmania's unique wildlife.
What can you do to reduce roadkill? Or help the Tassie devil in its fight against disease? Visitors and Tasmanians alike can play their part in looking after the wonderful creatures.
To enjoy the wildlife at your leisure, we recommend allowing an absolute minimum of one hour to wander around the Sanctuary.
