Nature on Canberra’s Doorstep
Wildbark visitor centre sits at the edge of Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary, Australia’s largest single Box-gum Grassy-woodland area managed for conservation.
On the border of 1200 hectares of fox-free bushland, you’ll have the opportunity to spot animals that haven’t existed in the wild on mainland Australia for over a century.
Join a Twilight tour to explore the Sanctuary at night, visit the Wildbark cafe, meet our resident lizards or see our functions page to hold your celebration or events with us. Wildbark is a place to bring the community together to experience nature at its finest and discover how we can turn the tide on extinction.
Join us and our partners in creating a biodiverse future for Australia.

Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary is open 24/7 for visitors to enjoy and is free to access through many gates around the perimeter fence, including a gate at Wildbark.
