  Truly 100% all Australian. We spent over 3 hours here and got to hold a tiny baby kangaroo. We interacted with wild Emus, Peacocks, Bush Turkeys, Lizards, Deer, Snakes, Parrots and birds of all kinds. We saw Dingo's and a pup, and had a lovely picnic out on the open grounds, while birds, flew around us and Kangaroos and Wallabies grazed nearby. The staff are knowledgeable, very friendly and the entire Sanctuary is clean and very well maintained. I highly recommend a visit here.

  The Fraser Coast Wildlife Sanctuary is a quiet little spot tucked away outside Maryborough where you can get up close to some nice Aussie wildlife and feel good that you are contributing to the care of sick or injured animals. Highlights of my visit were the talking cockatoos, the white Dingo puppy 'Spirit' and the friendly old blind Wallaroo who loves a pat.

  We spent a brilliant couple of hours here with the kids feeding Kangaroos, talking to the birds and meeting the emus. The place is beautifully kept and the staff were full of enthusiasm, knowledge and commitment.

  Plenty of space for the animals to share. Lots of helpers, some of them had retired long ago, but these God's creatures had become part of their lives. It was food time, and our family (age 14 to 84) were busy feeding smaller and bigger kangaroos. A super day!

  We read the reviews for this sanctuary and thought that our grandchildren might like it. It is a small sanctuary with a range of animals. Charlie the long billed corella that welcomed us was the highlight for one of the children and the cockatoos that talked were the highlight for the other child. The adults also had a ball feeding the wallabies (food was $3 a bag), walking through the enclosure with emus, deer and kangaroos, seeing a variety of reptiles as well as a peacocks and parrots. The dingos playing were also great to see. We had a cream teas and pies on the terrace. The cream teas were excellent and the guys loved their pies again all was priced well. The park volunteers are very knowledgeable and we will certainly be back. It is great to see a reasonably priced park that you can afford to take the whole family.

  I took some overseas visitors here, fingers crossed that they'd see a couple of Aussie animals. Awesome! We felt very welcome, and it is a real up close and personal experience. We were shown around and given lots of information, but were also allowed to wander around and simply take it all in. The staff are all very passionate about the work they do, and all are very approachable and friendly. I would have liked to see a couple of benches here and there, but we were far too busy to sit down anyway. Make sure you come around 2pm, when the kangaroos are fed. We had lots of fun helping out with that.

  This place could be fantastic and a real jewel of the Fraser Coast however for a range of reasons it is not exciting, nor spectacular. Just lacks so much in the general appearance and operation.

  We knew in advance about the dingo breeding programme carried out at the Sanctuary, so it was great to pay the place a visit and meet the friendly and passionate staff, as well as all the rescued aussie wildlife.Although it was a hot and humid morning there was a wide variety of birds, animals and reptiles enjoying their spacious and well kept enclosures. Lots of parrots, emus, roos, turtles and snakes, but the highlight for us was the dingoes, as we failed to see any on our recent visit to Fraser Island.Very reasonable entrance fee and refreshment prices, plus the layout is being continually enhanced with shaded rest areas and more aviaries. Keep up the great work guys!

  We visited the park on 14th August and it was fantastic. The volunteers were really welcoming, knowledgable and helpful. It's really very clear to see they really have the animals well being at heart. We got to feed the kangaroos and emu's and see the birds. You can get up close with the animals for a bargain entry fee.Food and drinks are reasonable - all round well worth a visit if your in the area.
