Here, you can see free-ranging native Australian wildlife up close, including wombats, kangaroos, bettongs, koalas, pademelons, lorikeets, pelicans and swans. Natureworld also operates as a rescue, breeding and rehabilitation sanctuary for orphaned or injured wildlife.
Other features include Devilworld, a state of the art, interactive interpretation centre focussing on the Tasmanian Devil. You can see over 200 snakes and lizards in Reptileworld and witness the after-dark habits of Australian native animals at Nocturnalworld. An activities program, operating from October to March, includes trips on the ’Devil Express’ and Meet the Keeper.’ Feeding times are at 10am and 4pm each day.
