Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park
Host: Mike Whitney
If your kids love animals the best place for them to visit these Christmas holidays has got to be Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park in Calga.

 |
With over 180 different species of Australian wildlife in the park this is probably the biggest collection of native animals living in their habitat you’ll ever see. The beautiful thing about life here is that the critters are allowed to roam free and live a harmonious life inside a feral-proof fence.

To get a feel of the place your best bet is to put your best foot forward on a walking tour. Along the way the rangers will tell you interesting tid-bits of information and introduce you to the locals of the park.
Included with the price of admission are a few extras that you’re going to want to check out. You can interact with the koalas, take a tour of the Aboriginal sites in the park, and even make friends with the dingo pups, Munji and Kirika.
 |
You can also get a taste of the bush by sitting in on the bush tucker & bush medicine demonstrations. If you like what you see, drop into the shop and pick up some bush tucker products to take home with you.
The fantastic thing about Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park is that it gives kids the opportunity to get to know native animals, learn a bit about Aboriginal culture, and most importantly, it reinforces the need of conservation to keep our native creatures happy & healthy.
