Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is a world-renowned heritage-listed park that has been a staple of the Gold Coast for over 75 years. Spanning 27 hectares of lush rainforest, the sanctuary is famous for its wild lorikeet feeding, where hundreds of colorful birds descend upon visitors twice daily. Guests can explore open-air paddocks to feed kangaroos, encounter koalas, and view rare exotic animals. The sanctuary is also home to the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital, one of the busiest wildlife hospitals in the world, where visitors can see conservation in action. For those seeking adventure, the TreeTop Challenge offers a high-ropes course through the canopy. Cultural experiences like the Aboriginal Culture Show add depth to the visit, highlighting the rich history of the land’s traditional owners. As a non-profit organization, the sanctuary focuses heavily on education and conservation, providing a tranquil yet educational escape that fosters a deep appreciation for Australia’s unique biodiversity and natural environment.
