Skani Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 What about Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary? http://www.bonorong.com.au/index.html It's just east of Brighton, north of Hobart - there's a map on their website - and children love the interaction with the animals. They also have a Nocturnal House where you can see the animals which normally only venture out at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearRules Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We went to Bonorong last week. There didn't seem to be as many animals there as when we went last year, but i'd still recommend it. Make sure you time your visit for when the guided tour is on (one am, one pm) so you can get up close with the animals. We love feeding the kangeroos inside their enclosure! You could also consider ZooDoo. Overall I prefer Bonorong but the ZooDoo truck ride through the emu and ostritch pens is too funny ... in a kinda scary way ... :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the weather warmer when you went last year? I suspect the animals hunker down more in the colder weather (just like us :biggrin:).

BearRules Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Probably, lol. But the reason it seemed emptier is because there is a large area near the entrance where they appear to be building a new enclosure, and there are no animals there at all. Last year there were wallabies scuttling around in that area. Once you walk past there you get on to the new Devil Run area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispysince70 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hi If the boys like riding their bikes, a lovely place to go is Risdon Brook Dam, It's not too hilly and a lovely walk. We took our boys there a few weeks ago (they're 6 & 8) and they loved it. Chris x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearRules Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I've been to the dam numerous times. Its a really nice relaxing walk. Its just over 4km for a full lap, highly recommended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
