Fraser Coast Wildlife Sanctuary — Attraction in Oakhurst

Fantastic sanctuary that is incredibly cheap and a much quieter, more interactive experience compared to a lot of other zoos/sanctuaries. Great value for money and volunteers are very friendly and are happy to answer questions and pass on knowledge.

Animals include kangaroos and wallabies, ducks, peacocks free roaming and bettongs, turtles, emus and dingoes in enclosures. A range of birds in aviaries and beautiful snakes and lizards in the reptile room. Animals are well cared for and volunteers love what they do. Emus are gentle, kangaroos are very friendly, reptiles are easy to handle. Definitely recommend the animal experiences - a dingo encounter is $15 and snake is $10 which is actually great value for money, a fair and heavily discounted rate compared to other overpriced venues. At 2pm the public can help feed the outer sanctuary, which includes getting up close with the most gentle and wonderfully natured emus!

Kangaroo food available for purchase at the reception for $3 which is always an enjoyable experience, and they love a nice scratch behind the ear!

If you love animals, I highly recommend this facility. I spent hours here by myself and loved every minute of it. Thank you so much to the volunteers for being so wonderful and informative and making this a fantastic experience overall! We appreciate your efforts and hard work in everything that...

This is a really awesome little spot if you love wildlife, conservation or zoos. Plenty to see here...Kangaroos, Dingos, Birds, Reptiles. A lot of the animals are freely roaming around so you get the chance to hand feed some of the critters. Some really talkative birds too which was a lot of fun. I got more out of a Parrot than I have out of my girlfriend in 5 years. You can also buy reptiles and all the gear from here, they have some quite rare species too if it's a hobby of yours. Overall the place isn't one of the most picturesque sanctuaries I've been to however you can tell that the animals are well looked after. The staff are also super friendly and talkative being more than happy to give you more info. You can tell they love what they do. Entry fee is great too at $15 an adult. We spent a couple of hours here and was well worth the...
