Get up close to some intriguing nocturnal mammals such as the Bilby, Rufous Hare-wallaby and Western Barred Bandicoot during one of Barna Mia’s guided evening walks.

Their informative and friendly guides will share details with you about how Barna Mia is helping these threatened species to return to their original homes. You will also learn about their food preferences, mating habits and how these fascinating animals rear their young. Wander through the rammed earth building to learn more about the sanctuary and its inhabitants.

Tours run on Monday, Wednesday Friday and Saturday nights. They are extremely popular so it is advisable to book ahead to avoid disappointment.
