Trowunna Wildlife Park, Wildpark und Tierschutzgebiet in Tasmanien
Trowunna Wildlife Park is a wildlife sanctuary near Mole Creek, Tasmania, where native animals live in natural-looking environments. The grounds feature native bushland, tall trees, and gentle paths where visitors can observe kangaroos, wombats, Tasmanian devils, and various birds in settings designed to feel like their natural habitat.
The sanctuary was established in 1979 to protect and care for endangered native species. Since then it has become a key refuge for Tasmanian devils and other local animals, running breeding programs to help preserve populations at risk of decline.
The park teaches visitors about Tasmania's native creatures through hands-on experiences and personal encounters with the animals. People learn to respect wildlife by spending time near wombats, Tasmanian devils, and birds in settings that feel close to nature.
The park is open daily and offers three guided tours per day lasting about 45 minutes, included with entry. Pathways are well-maintained, parking is available on site, and there are rest areas with shade and facilities like toilets. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket as weather can be cool.
Visitors can hand-feed Tasmanian devils and even play tug-of-war with them, feeling their surprising strength firsthand. The park is also known for wombats that nap in cozy spots during the day, revealing their stubborn and easygoing personalities that often amuse guests.
