Founded in 1947, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is a 27-hectare (66-acre) rainforest haven located just minutes from the Gold Coast’s beaches. This sanctuary provides a natural setting for a diverse array of native Australian animals, including kangaroos, koalas, wombats, Tasmanian devils, and the colorful rainbow lorikeets. Visitors can explore the lush, verdant landscape, observe the animals up close, and learn about the sanctuary’s conservation efforts. The sanctuary offers a unique opportunity to connect with Australia’s wildlife in an environment that closely resembles their natural habitats.
