Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary

Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary is the only place on mainland South Australia where you may see the elusive platypus. The Sanctuary is also a thriving eco-system where hundreds of Australian native animals flourish. Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, bandicoots, potoroos, bettongs, and birds, rarely seen outside the feral-proof fence, all live safe and protected at Warrawong.

The award winning Sanctuary was founded in 1969 by Dr John Wamsley, when he purchased a 35 acre dairy. Later, he and his wife Proo surrounded the property with a 2.1 metre high, electrified, feral proof fence. The fence created a safe haven where native animals were protected from introduced predators like cats and foxes. Many consider this approach to be a world’s first.

Experience the tranquil haven of Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary for yourself by booking an animal encounter, behind the scenes experience, show, tour, or camp.

Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary is a serene environment for animals and humans alike. Visit us and experience the best of natural Australia.

Wildlife Wander Dusk Tour

Dusk Tour Event
Dusk tours at Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary showcase Australia the way it ought to be. Before cats and foxes were introduced to Australia, a myriad of native marsupials inhabited the countryside.
At your feet, the locally endangered southern brown bandicoots, and playful potoroos, scamper around in search of food. Brush tailed and ring tailed possums do the same, but in the safety of the treetops. In mating season, the haunting, guttural calls of male koalas echo through the valley, as they search for mates and defend their territories. As light fades, the chance of seeing the shy and elusive platypus increases.
A dusk guided tour at Warrawong exposes visitors to a magical time in the wildlife of Australia. There is no better experience than wandering through this natural environment and watching the native animals undisturbed in their normal routines. Warrawong is a virtual Garden of Eden for Australia’s unique native animals. Think of it as a 28 acre enclosure and you're on the inside. A Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary dusk tour is a truly unique experience.
The tour is suitable for people 6 years of age and older.

"That's edu-tainment!"

Edu-tainment is the art of nurturing curiosity-based learning. And there’s a lot to be curious about at Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary.
Warrawong is thought to be home to the last platypus on mainland South Australia. Our feral proof fence gives refuge to 110 species of birds. From bandicoots to bettongs, from koalas to kangaroos… Warrawong is arguably the most stimulating classroom in Australia. And the kids won’t even know they’re learning.
The Warrawong Kids' Club is a fantastic way for your children to spend time with nature.
We’ve created a variety of “edu-taining” activities to occupy Warrawong Kids from 9:30am until 3:00pm, on each of our activity days. Each day is different, which means the more times a child comes to Warrawong, the more fun they’ll have, and the more they’ll learn. Be prepared. Your kids will come home buzzing with a head full of knowledge.
Each Warrawong Kid receives an awesome green Kids Club hat. There are only 20 places available on each day, so please book now.
It’s always a wild life at Warrawong Kids' Club.
If you have any questions, or require assistance with your booking, please call +61 8 8423 6030 or email info@warrawongws.com.au.
