Australian Walkabout Wildlife Park, Wildlife refuge in Calga, Australia.
The Australian Walkabout Wildlife Park is a wildlife refuge spanning 180 acres of natural bushland in Calga, home to kangaroos, koalas, wombats, and echidnas. Pathways wind through the property, connecting different animal habitats and allowing visitors to observe species in settings that resemble their natural environments.
The refuge was established on Heritage-listed bushland and developed conservation programs focused on protecting native animal species. Over time, it expanded to include wildlife rescue and breeding initiatives to support threatened populations.
The refuge works with Aboriginal knowledge keepers who share stories about the land and its traditional significance with visitors. This connection becomes clear as you walk through the area and learn how Indigenous people have understood and valued it.
The park is accessible daily and offers both self-guided and led tours where visitors can watch animals in open areas. It helps to wear sturdy shoes and bring water, as the pathways are natural and can be uneven in places.
The property houses non-Australian animals including meerkats and servals, adding an unexpected layer to the visit. This cross-geographic mix demonstrates how wildlife care extends beyond local species.
