Gorge Wildlife Park is not your average wildlife park; it’s a place where people and animals get together. Under shaded trees, paths meander amongst the animals offering many relaxing hours of wildlife enjoyment. See all of your favourite Australian animals including wombats, dingoes, echidnas and Tasmanian devils. Cuddle a koala and walk amongst the kangaroos and wallabies. A variety of exotic animals are on display, including American alligators, meerkats, otters, playful monkeys and more. The park has a vast range of birds, from fairy wrens to ostriches and everything in between. Some are in enclosures but many fly free, including a free range colony of rainbow lorikeets. The reptile house has a great display of reptiles, amphibians, insects and fish. Enjoy picnic areas with free gas barbeques, kiosk and souvenir shop. Koala handling times are 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm daily (subject to conditions).
