Back A Local Legend.
Make it count before June 30.
Every animal in our care has a story. Every dollar you give helps write the next chapter. This EOFY, your donation goes directly to the animals you love: their food, their care, and the habitats they call home.
Donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Rocky The Cockatoo
He’s loud. Bossy. Completely convinced this sanctuary belongs to him. And honestly? We let him think that.
Rocky has spent years charming guests, demanding attention, and reminding everyone exactly when feeding time should be. Beneath all the attitude is an animal who relies on daily care, enrichment, specialist food, and a safe forever home.
Your donation helps keep big personalities like Rocky healthy, protected, and impossible to ignore.
Arni The Koala
Right now, Arni is asleep.
He’ll probably still be asleep when you leave.
But while he naps, there’s a whole team working behind the scenes to care for him — fresh eucalyptus delivered daily, habitat maintenance, health checks, and expert veterinary care.
Koalas like Arni spend most of their lives resting to survive. Your support helps make sure they can keep doing exactly that — safely, comfortably, and cared for every single day.
Without urgent conservation action, future generations may experience koalas only in books and sanctuaries - not thriving in the wild.
Squirrel Glider Family
Meet Poppy, Sunny and Maple - Small but incredibly important to Australia’s forest ecosystems, squirrel gliders help support biodiversity through pollination and seed dispersal as they move through the treetops at night.
Habitat loss has placed increasing pressure on native glider populations, making education, habitat awareness, and species protection more important than ever.
Your support helps provide specialised care, enrichment, nutrition, and safe habitat spaces for these remarkable nocturnal animals.
The Reptile Crew
They’re the animals people fear most.
The ones too often misunderstood before they’re understood at all.
But snakes, lizards, and reptiles play a vital role in Australia’s ecosystems — and every one of them deserves protection, respect, and expert care.
From venomous species to ancient survivors, our reptile crew helps thousands of guests replace fear with fascination each year.
Your donation helps us continue caring for some of Australia’s most remarkable — and most misunderstood — wildlife.
The Kangaroo Mob
Kangaroos are an iconic part of Australia’s natural landscape and play an important role in maintaining healthy grasslands and ecosystems. Through selective grazing and seed movement, kangaroos help support environmental balance across the country.
Your support helps provide quality nutrition, veterinary care, habitat management, and enrichment for our kangaroo mob, while also helping us educate visitors about the importance of protecting Australia’s native wildlife.
Manda The Wombat
Wombats play a vital role in the Australian environment. Despite their tough appearance, wombats face growing threats including habitat loss, disease, and road trauma.
Your support helps provide ongoing care, enrichment, habitat maintenance, and education opportunities that help visitors better understand and appreciate this iconic Australian species.
