Serendip Sanctuary, Nature reserve in Lara, Victoria, Australia
The sanctuary spans 250 hectares of wetlands and grassy woodlands, providing habitats for numerous native species near the You Yangs mountain range.
The Victorian State Government acquired this land in 1959 to establish a research facility dedicated to wildlife conservation and endangered species breeding programs.
The land belongs to the Wadawurrung people, who maintained connections with this region spanning over 10,000 square kilometers before European settlement in 1836.
Visitors access free walking trails, bird observation points, and educational facilities while exploring different ecological zones within the sanctuary.
The sanctuary conducts breeding programs for threatened species including the eastern barred bandicoot, bush stone-curlew, and Cape Barren goose.
