Itinerary

1

Start your self-guided wildlife encounter at Kuranda Koala Gardens. At the gardens, you’ll get up-close to freshwater crocodiles and have the chance to feed kangaroos and wallabies. Feeding the kangaroos and wallabies is conducted under supervision from the amazing team at the gardens and the animals have the freedom to accept the food you are offering or go and relax ~ being a kangaroo is tough work!. You'll also see the elusive wombats – these sleepy, shy animals are the world's largest burrowing mammals and aren’t often seen in the wild, so don’t miss them! You also have the opportunity to see the rare Greater Bilby, the Northern Bettong, Mahogany Glider and more in the new ‘Nocturnal Wonders’ exhibit.

Worth a visit to take a picture with koala and see beautiful birds.

Small place but worth a visit to take a picture with koala. Bird sanctuary has beautiful birds in vibrant colors. I was happy to see kangaroos and few other animals in this small place.
