Healesville Sanctuary, formally known as the Sir Colin MacKenzie Sanctuary, is a zoo specialising in native Australian animals. It is located at Healesville in the beautiful Yarra Valley, (only a short 22 minute drive from our park) and has a history of breeding native animals. It is one of only two places to have successfully bred a platypus, the other being Sydney’s Taronga Zoo. It also assists with a breeding population of the endangered helmeted honeyeater.
The zoo is set in a natural bushland environment where paths wind through different habitat areas showcasing Wallabies, Wombats, Dingoes, Kangaroos and over 200 Native Bird varieties.
Guided tours, bird shows, food and information areas are available to visitors.
