Fauna

Wirrimbirra is not a Zoo - it is a wild life refuge.  

The 30 animals at Wirrimbirra, particularly those in the walk-through Fauna Protection Area (FPA), are generally used to people - but they are not trained, nor do we encourage hand feeding.  There are wombats, emus, eastern grey kangaroos, red neck, tammar and swamp wallabies.  The FPA is a secure environment, fenced to keep predators at bay.  Inside the FPA is a large bird aviary that houses the Tawnies and Rainbow lorikeets at the moment.  More birds will he added soon. Another smaller aviary is home to "Bye Bye" & friend - two sulphur crested cockatoos.  Entry  is by gold coin donation - it helps us pay some of their feed and vet bills.
