Trowunna Wildlife Park

The Trowunna Wildlife Park has been the home to local animals for some 30 years and houses the largest number of endangered Tasmanian Devils. This privately owned park displays a wide range of birds, marsupials and reptiles. It has become the natural home for animals. The main aim of the park is conservation and educating people about conservation of animals. For the last 30 years, Trowunna has been offering the perfect setting to capture the local wildlife for various documentaries, photo shoots and television shows.

Most of the animals in the park are acquired either through rehabilitation or rescue programs and this place has become a release site for these kinds of animals. Here, animals are allowed to roam freely within the park. Once the animals are cured they are released in the wild. Some of the rescued and released animals include bennetts wallabies, tasmanian common wombats, ringtail possums, brushtail possums as well as many birds of prey. But in case of animals who are incapable of taking care of them, they become permanent resident of the park.

Animals found at the park

The park offers abundant food, shelter and water and that is why, it has become the home for green rosellas, potoroos, bandicoots and many various ducks. Tasmanian devils are bred at Trowunna since 1985 and the best time to see them is during their feeding time in the daily interactive animal tours. Other animals that can be seen are eastern quolls and spotted tail quolls. Also found here are Tasmanian subspecies of the common wombat. You can also spot all five species of Tasmanian macropods including pademelons, forester kangaroos, potoroos, bennetts wallabies and bettongs.

Besides, there are different varieties of reptiles like lizards and snakes and an abundance of both wild and native birds.
