Warrawong Earth Sanctuary Information

Warrawong is home to 100 species of birds and many native mammals, offering you the opportunity to get among the Australian bush and wildlife in a protected habitat. It's just 25 minutes from Adelaide, so learning about Australia's endangered wildlife is easy.

And Warrawong is offering Free Admission for the month of April, from 9am to 4pm 7 days a week.

Try our walking trails - Dawn Walks take you on a journey to discover the five habitats of Warrawong with wallabies, kangaroos and abundant birdlife to be seen. The Wetlands and Rainforest Walks are a daytime adventure along the waterways and the rainforest of Warrawong to learn about platypus, native fish, and other aquatic life of the ecosystems. And Nocturnal Walks depart around sunset to see and experience Australia's famous wildlife such as bilbies, bettongs and bandicoots in their natural habitat.

All guided tours meander along walking trails and follow boardwalks through the sanctuary. Tours are 90 minutes in duration. While entry to the sanctuary is free, there are fees for guided walks and bird shows.

You can also dine at the Bilby Café, with a view of Australian wildlife from your table. In winter you can enjoy the warmth of an open fire, while in summer you can stroll on the decking, offering views across Warrawong and the Adelaide Hills. There’s also a gift shop.

Warrawong Sanctuary caters for functions and conferences, and accommodation in tent cabins.

Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1969 when dairy land was revegetated with native trees and shrubs to attract native animals and birds. In 1982 the 35 acres was enclosed with feral-proof fencing. Once the fence was completed, the bird populations flourished and the release of many native animals began.
