The Melbourne Wildlife Sanctuary

Wildlife

Throughout the La Trobe Wildlife Sanctuary’s 30 hectare site, a great diversity of wildlife can be found. A stroll around our wetlands will provide the budding bird watcher with a great experience. Our Lizard lounges exhibit darting reptiles, while nesting boxes, and hollows, provide great habitat for arboreal birds and mammals. Our vision to construct a predator proof fence will enable future introductions of locally extinct species.
