Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home in nature at some pitches — including real toilets, showers, and kitchen.
We are a sanctuary for rescued wildlife needing lifetime care, and breed-for-release rewilding programs for endangered animals. Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary is a Heritage-listed Aboriginal Cultural landscape with ancient sites dating back more than 4,000 years. If you love the bush and animals roaming free, if you want to visit ancient Aboriginal sites and to learn about bush tucker and bush medicine, or if you just enjoy bushwalking, you’ll love Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary. You can relax at the visitor center with a great cup of coffee. Visit for an hour or stay for the whole day. Or better yet, you can check in for an overnight experience in one of our Eco-Cabins or Safari Camping tents and enjoy roaming our grounds at night with our nocturnal animals!

Gather your friends for a night in the Australian bush with the animals. Includes your entry tickets for all-day entry to the wildlife sanctuary too.

Inclusions: - exclusive use of the campsite for your group - 10 campers minimum (you can add more) - 1 safari tent per 2-4 (max.) people, set up and ready for you (3m x 3m x 6ft high) - overnight access to explore the sanctuary after dark to see what the animals get up to - campsite check-in 3pm-4pm, check-out 9am-10am - entry tickets 9:30am-5pm so you can visit the animals before check-in and after check-out - camping mattresses - camp kitchen with fenced eating area, fridge, microwave, gas BBQ, sink (cold water) - ablutions block with toilets and 4 hot water showers (1-minute walk from tents) - fire pit and firewood – small campfire** only in safe weather, extinguished at 10pm (summer) or 8 pm (winter) **other guests who are not with your group may join you at the campfire Your tent has a camping mattress for each person. You are welcome to bring your own sleeping gear (sleeping bag or duvet/doona and pillow) and towel. However, if you prefer, you can hire these from us. You can just hire for those who need them. You don’t have to hire these for everyone in your tent. Optional Hires: torch (flashlight) $10 each sleeping bag $20 each fleecy blanket $10 each pillow $5 each towel $5 each These are washed and sanitised after every use. You should plan to self cater. Please note that we do NOT have a restaurant at or near to Walkabout Park, and the entry gates are locked between 5pm and 8am. We do serve light kiosk-style meals during the day at the visitor centre, but only between 11am and 3pm. It is important that you pack your food in an esky or other animal-proof container so that the kangaroos and emus don’t raid your tent while you are out. There is a fridge but this is shared with other campers, so we recommend that most of your food not need refrigeration. Your campsite has a basic communal/shared camp kitchen. Your camp kitchen is a sheltered undercover area open on the sides, with one microwave. one kettle. one toaster. double sink with cold water. single domestic-sized fridge. This should be sufficient to store your milk and a small number of other items. However, you will be sharing the single fridge with other families in the campsite, so please ensure most of your food items do NOT need to be refrigerated. one gas BBQ. Please bring your own cooking and eating utensils and cleaning products as these are NOT supplied.

A Truly Special Experience!
Cabin 3 - Heath Banksia
What an amazing place! Our cabin was nestled in among the kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, emus, and (new to us) padamelons. We arrived as the park was closing for the night and got to explore on our own for a bit. Then the best part: the Wild Night Out walk with a ranger! Our guide, Talia, answered all of many questions, introduced us to the nocturnal animals, told us their stories, and let us feed many of them. It was the most special few hours of our trip to Australia so far! In the morning, we explored the bush trail on our own before the park opened, accompanied by some very friendly emus for a the first bit. The lodgings were clean and comfortable, with easy access from parking lot. Truly a special place and a special experience!
