👍👍 Our tour guide Liam, was enthusiastic, knowledgable, friendly, and capable. He showed us animals we had never seen, and told us things we had never known.

Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary

Wildlife refuge

👍👍 Great spot for snorkelling. Saw several large banjo sharks, sting rays, a huge eagle ray, sea stars, Australasian snapper, dusky morwong, toadies and other fish. At times the water was a bit murky but I expect visibility would be much better in calmer and sunnier conditions. Water is cold - recommen...

Great Ocean Road Wildlife Park

Wildlife park

👍👍 Worth every cent! The interaction with the emus and kangaroos was a highlight. Perfect for kids both big and small.

Penguin Watchout

Jirrahlinga Dingo Conservation & Wildlife Education Centre

Tourist attraction

🫤 Tad conflicted here with the rating. This is the only place where I’ve been able to see a wombat that’s not sleeping in its burrow/shelter. So yay for that. This is the smallest wildlife sanctuary I’ve been to which isn’t a bad thing but unless you have young kids with you, you probably won’t spen...

Nangak Tamboree Wildlife Sanctuary

Education center

👍👍 Excellent educational and community resource to see and learn about our local native flora and fauna. The plant nursery has a good range of plants. Of great note is the excellent range of Nesting Boxes produced and sold there. Hours are a bit limited but that's understandable. Look out for upcoming...
