Australian wildlife is notorious for being dangerous – which of course, some are. Visit the Phillip Island Wildlife Park to meet the (mostly) friendly ones.

Hand feed and pat kangaroos and wallabies and spot koalas in the treetops. You can get a closer look at the more elusive Australia wildlife such as echidnas and cassowaries.

Take a look at the Tasmanian Devil and dingoes as they roam about their enclosures. Bird watchers can head to the aviary. The reptile house is home to cold-blooded creatures.

Phillip Island takes immense pride in the conservation efforts of the island. Phillip Island Wildlife Park is a testament to the work being done. A fantastic and immersive visit for the family.
