Warrawong Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Located 17 kilometers southeast of Adelaide, this 35-hectare reserve contains protected areas for native Australian species including kangaroos, koalas, and wallabies.
Dr. John Wamsley established the sanctuary in 1969 by transforming a dairy farm into a protected environment with a 2.1-meter-high predator-proof fence.
The sanctuary incorporates native wildlife education programs, connecting visitors with traditional Australian animal species through guided experiences and encounters.
The facility provides camping areas, caravan sites, parking spaces, a cafe, and a gift shop for visitors exploring the natural environment.
This location maintains the last population of platypuses on mainland South Australia, with confirmed sightings recorded in September 2020.
