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, enjoy dinner at the Wildbark Kitchen or meet our resident lizards. 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.
