Wildlife Sanctuary

The Woodstock Wildlife Sanctuary is home to Eden, Maple, Rawnsely, Prairie, Abraham and Dusty, all rescued Western Grey Kangaroos. Together with our emu's called Maverick & Goose, they will be the ones meeting and greeting you at our feeding sessions.

In 2021 we welcomed two rescue orphan Western Grey Kangaroos, Rooby and Clare. 

The wildlife numbers in the sanctuary continue to grow through breeding, and as more rescued, hand-reared animals are offered to our care. 

Conservationist, Rae Campbell, likes to release rescued koalas at Woodstock. The trees are ideal for koalas and the fence provides some safety while they are young. When old enough, the koalas can climb the fence, to forage further afield.

We encourage you to look up into the majestic gum trees on the Estate, both the ones inside and outside the Sanctuary, as we often have visiting koalas stopping by to nibble on their favourite Eucalypts. Considering koalas can spend up to 20 hours a day sleeping, seeing one quietly perched and fast asleep in the fork of one of our gum trees is not unusual.

We are pleased to be able to offer visitors to Woodstock a unique and truly Australian encounter with the animals in the Sanctuary. We hold supervised feeding sessions Friday - Sunday at 11:30am only.

Dusty, Maverick, and the more tame residents, being the Grey Kangaroos and some Wallabies, look forward to these sessions as much as we do!

Kangaroo Feeding Sessions are held Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 11:30am.

Closed Monday - Thursday, except during school holidays.
