Gold Coast Animal Adventures

Kangaroos! Koala bears! Crocodiles! When visitors come to Australia, they want to see the wildlife.

There are many attractions on the Gold Coast including Sea World, whale watch cruises, sanctuaries and reserves which allow you to get up close to these unique species, leaving you with memories that last a lifetime.

One of Australia's most famous animal sanctuaries, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on the Gold Coast, has 1400+ beautiful and sleek Australian native animals in their natural habitats. You can walk through rainforest and bushland environments, peek at the crocs and feed gentle wallabies and kangaroos in their own enclosure.

At Currumbin, visit the dingo and the wombat and see a range of colourful Australian birds including blue-winged kookaburras, emus and the flocks of rainbow lorikeets which descend into the park at routine feeding times.

Paradise Country - Aussie Farm Tour at Oxenford on the Gold Coast is sprawled over 12 hectares of native bush under the shade of towering gum trees. Here you are invited to explore the many facets of traditional and contemporary Australian country life.

You can walk through the farmyard filled with tame and curious animals. Lambs, donkeys, calves, ponies and chicks will walk up and say hello. Have your picture taken with a koala in your arms and feel how soft and cuddly they are.

At Paradise Country, you can also watch a stockmen's horsemanship show and whip-cracking demonstrations and see how the sheep dogs muster a flock of merino sheep. You can listen to a didgeridoo and see how to throw a boomerang properly.
