The Billabong Sanctuary is an 11-hectare wildlife sanctuary in Nome, 17 km south of Townsville, North Queensland, Australia. Totaltravel.com calls it „Australia’s best interactive wildlife sanctuary.“
The sanctuary is a permanent home to over 100 species of Australian mammals and reptiles such as kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, wombats, crocodiles, and birds including parrots and cassowaries. In addition, the natural billabong (lake) at the center of the sanctuary is host to many visiting animals, some of which will breed and raise their young at the sanctuary. Visitors to the sanctuary can take guided or self-guided tours through the 11-hectare natural tropical bush.
