The Australian Wildlife Sanctuary welcomes lovers of natural, cultural and built heritage and wildlife. The sanctuary is a heritage-listed wildlife sanctuary, with a café, gift shop and education centre located at Bargo within the Wollondilly Shire Council area.
Discover and explore your wild side with a Wild Encounter where you will meet, cuddle and feed some of the Sanctuaries resident animals like the Bare-Nosed Wombat, Long-Neck Turtle, Emu, wallabies and more! The exclusive and unforgettable private experience will take you on a full tour of the Sanctuary where you will see first hand all the amazing work that the Sanctuary undertakes.
We had a wonderful experience at Australian Wildlife Sanctuary today. The animal encounters were the highlight of our visit, especially seeing the adorable sugar gliders and quokkas up close. It was a rare opportunity to interact closely with some of Australia’s unique wildlife in a relaxed and well-cared-for environment.
A special thank you to Aisha, who was an outstanding guide throughout the experience. She was patient, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals. She took the time to answer questions and made sure everyone had a chance to enjoy the encounters, which made the experience even more memorable.
If you’re looking for an authentic and hands-on Australian wildlife experience, we highly recommend visiting. A fantastic day for families and animal lovers alike! 🦘🐨❤️

We had a very very great time at Australian Wildlife Sanctuary.
A place well preserved for animals which had previous history and now are in this sanctuary to stay. I loved the fact that our guides knew the name and the personality traits of each animal we met. We took the premium package allowing us a 2h length visit for only the 5 of us. The amount you will pay will go directly to the animals well-being.
Love this place and really recommend it to have an experience personalised and close to the Australian fauna.

If I could give this place more stars I would. It’s a small wildlife park so you can visit everything it in a couple of hours. We did 4 wildlife encounters - koala, sugar gliders, meerkats and the wombat. It was ridiculously fun. And we also got the feed bags for the bunnies. We also saw the kangaroo feeding. Staff was superb. Easy parking, cute gift shop and the animals were well cared for. Thanks to Matt for bringing us to this great tucked away treat.

We visited Australia’s Wild Life Sanctuary in Sun Country, and it was absolutely amazing. The way they have trained and cared for the cockatoos was just beautiful. The speakers, the birds, and all the organization and decor around it were so well done. My friend Shelly and I are both so happy, and we really celebrate them. Truly, it was fantastic. Congratulations to all of them
Thanks Jill💙 Shelley

We were a group of 5 that went and Aysha was our guide. She was very friendly and she was extremely knowledgeable about all of the animals. The added sugar gliders experience was an absolute treat! We all had so much fun interacting with many of the animals. I cannot recommend going here enough!
