Gold Coast Family Animal Adventures

Travelling around Australia promises to be exciting and adventurous, particularly if you and your family are animal lovers. Once you stop off at the Gold Coast, you are sure to be treated to some special animal encounters that will be hard to find anywhere else.

Australia's wildlife includes some of the most unique species of animals in the world, particularly our native animals like the koala, kangaroo, emu and platypus. On the Gold Coast, you can get up close and personal with some of these animals and more when you visit our themed animal parks.

The Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is certainly one attraction not to be missed during your family holiday to the Gold Coast in Australia. Just a 25-minute drive south of Surfers Paradise, the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary offers an opportunity for you to get up close and personal with Australian birdlife by hosting daily lorikeet feeds.

Other attractions include encounters with Tasmanian Devils, live snake shows, and even a chance to feed wombats, kangaroos and koala bears. You'll also be entertained with a traditional Aboriginal Dance Show.

If exploring the Australian farm life feeds your curiosity, then a day trip to Paradise Country Aussie Farm Tour will be more like a banquet to you. Enjoy the hearty taste of a traditional billy tea and damper around a campfire, be entertained with boomerang throwing and whip cracking demonstrations, sheep dog muster and even sheep shearing. This tour will take you back into some Australian farming history. You can even stop for a barbecue lunch.
