Mount Rothwell Biodiversity Interpretation Centre

Mount Rothwell Biodiversity Interpretation Centre spans 420 hectares of protected land, functioning as Victoria's largest predator-free ecosystem for native species conservation.

The facility opened in 2002 as Little River Earth Sanctuary, established by Earth Sanctuaries Limited before being acquired by ES Link in 2005 and Prudentia Investments in 2006.

The centre maintains breeding programs for endangered Australian species, including Eastern Barred Bandicoots, Southern Brush-tailed Rock-wallabies, and Eastern Quolls in their natural habitat.

Located 50 kilometers from Melbourne near Little River, the centre offers guided tours and educational programs about Victorian wildlife and conservation methods.

The sanctuary contains 170 hectares of original grassy woodland, providing a protected environment for native carnivorous marsupials and threatened species reintroduction programs.
