Billabong Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Nome, Queensland, Australia.
Billabong Sanctuary is a wildlife park covering 11 hectares in Queensland, home to more than 70 species of Australian mammals, birds, and reptiles. The park is organized around a natural billabong water feature that serves as its central focal point.
The sanctuary opened in 1985 and later established breeding programs for native species facing conservation challenges. Focus areas include southern cassowaries and estuarine crocodiles, species important to Australia's ecological balance.
Through interactive experiences and educational programs, the sanctuary teaches visitors about Australian wildlife conservation and environmental protection principles.
The park is open daily and allows visitors to observe animals up close while participating in interactive activities throughout the grounds. Different sections let you explore various species in their respective habitats.
The facility focuses on breeding projects for six threatened Australian species, including koalas, eclectus parrots, and Greater Bilbies. This work supports the restoration of endangered populations in the wild.
