Wildlife Habitat - Wildlife Habitat - entry

Description:

Wildlife Habitat was constructed in 1988 on 8 acres (2 hectares) of land that has been recreated to provide a window into our natural environment. With an Advanced Ecotourism Accreditation, The Wildlife Habitat is committed to conservation via its Wildlife Rescue program, ensuring that injured, orphaned, or sick animals are looked after in a professional and caring manner. The Wildlife Habitat is a Wildlife immersion exhibit - an open and interactive environment for guests and animals to mingle in a spacious and natural setting. Visitors wander along elevated boardwalks, observing up close a huge range of flora and fauna as birds fly and roam freely. The Rainforest leads guests through a lush, tranquil environment where native species such as the endemic Boyd's Forest Dragon, Eclectus Parrots and the endangered Southern Cassowary can be viewed in a natural setting. In the Wetlands an array of wading birds can be viewed foraging for fish and crustaceans in waterways that wind beneath boardwalks and beside pathways. The Grasslands is an open-air exhibit that portrays both inland and coastal plains. The billabong is home to turtles, frogs and a range of waterfowl while also attracting a host of native bird varieties.
