Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Brighton, Tasmania
Native Australian animals receive care and rehabilitation at this conservation facility, which houses Tasmanian devils, kangaroos, koalas, and wombats in natural settings.
The sanctuary transformed from a private wildlife rescue initiative in the 1980s into a recognized educational and conservation center for Australian fauna.
The sanctuary stands on Mumirimina land and maintains strong connections with palawa/pakana people, who continue their role as traditional custodians.
Visitors access guided tours and animal encounters daily between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with food and educational materials included in admission fees.
The facility operates Tasmania's first wildlife hospital and maintains a 24-hour rescue service for injured native animals across the entire region.
