Visit Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary for close-up experiences of Australian animals, and spend time in Richmond, a Georgian-style village resplendent with mellow stone cottages. Your tour begins with a visit to Constitution Dock and the ABC buildings, Hobart's original sandstone railway station. Then head out on the Brooker Highway toward Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. Once there, spend time getting warm and friendly with a Tasmanian devil! Take a guided tour and learn the habits of native animals. See quolls, wombats, sugar gliders, koalas, cockatoos, echidnas, kangaroos, wallabies, and more. Next, visit Richmond, one of Australia's most unique and historic towns.

    It was raining that day, so I joined the tour in a hurry, but thanks to the rain calming down during the tour, I was able to enjoy it very much. We saw the famous Richmond Bridge and even met the Tasmanian Devil at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary! In particular, the kangaroo feeding was so cute that everyone was used to it and was healed! The explanation of the driver to go was also good. I thought the speed of the bus was very fast when going from Richmond to Bonolon and on the way back, but it was a wonderful experience because I really enjoyed it.

    It's a basic set up and if it was just about the displays would be ranked poor. BUT, when you find out it's a fully volunteer and self funded wildlife rescue operation, staffed 24/7 to co ordinate the saving, healing and rehabilitating injured animals back into the wild, you realise just how much they do and deserve every dollar of their entry fee, plus more if you can afford it.

    It was great. I would like the tour to be a little longer, as I did not have much time to feed the kangaroos. And also I felt it was a bit rushed in Richmond. But overall it was great, and the driver/guide is an amazing friendly person. Totally recommend it!
