A second visit to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

Queensland Coast 2023

Visiting a wildlife park without kids is such a relaxed and fun experience. We’ve been to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary before and loved it enough to come back.

The miniature train is a great way to get an overview of the place. The train runs on diesel, the fumes of which are inhaled by the passengers for the entire trip. It has been running for decades and a claimed three million kilometres which is very impressive. But that’s also an awful lot of diesel. It begs for a switch to electric.

First stop: the amazing bird show. Next to that is the animal hospital showing a steady stream of injured animals receiving help.

We chilled alongside kangaroos, koalas, red pandas, lizards and many others. Ended the day with traditional dance from indigenous performers.

  1. I remember going there as a kid. Rainbow Lorrikeets weren’t so common down here back then and they were quite a novelty especially in such numbers.
