dingo discovery sanctuary and research centre

Completely exceeded my expectations and I fell in love with the dingoes almost instantly! Not only do you get to learn about and see these lovely creatures, you are able to encounter and play with them too! The lovely owner ensured we had the best time but also didn't push the dingoes if they didn't want to play ball (though they are mostly very excited to see guests!). This showed the respect she had for the animals rather than making them 'perform' for visitors. She was very knowledgable and passionate, teaching us a lot during our time there. The animals clearly loved her and were very well cared for in excellent conditions. As it is by appointment only you get a truly intimate experience with no crowds of tourists like at a zoo. And at 30 dollars per person it is a bargain compared to what zoos offer - and in a much nicer setting too! Would highly recommend. Might even return to see the dingo pups in winter!

We went here with the intention of just swinging by for a look, expecting something dull or disappointing. Instead, we got an unforgettable experience meeting, playing with, feeding and learning all out dingoes. The sanctuary is incredibly up to scratch and brilliantly maintained, the animals are very happy and clearly well looked after, and the lovely lady who gave us our tour was very knowledgable and kind. She ensured we had a great time and taught us a lot. We have a new and keen appreciation for these beautiful animals and were happy to pay the $30AUD fee per head for such a great day out. Money well spent!
