Volunteering at the sanctuary will involve you in numerous hands-on conservation, wildlife and environmental projects and tasks. The tasks you will be helping out with are:
- Feeding of kangaroos, wallabies and birds
- Monitoring koala
- Tree planting
- Trail-path restoration
- Enclosure cleaning and maintaining fences
LocationThe Park is based 17 kilometres south of Townsville in North Queensland.
Accommodation and meals
During your stay, your accommodation will be at a guesthouse nearby. It is situated on a hill looking over the city. It consists of three people sharing a dorm- style room. Facilities at the guesthouse include a lounge, laundry and kitchen. It is very close to all the local amenities such as a supermarket, that is only 150 metres away, and pubs and restaurants too. Whilst on the programme, morning tea and a lunch will be provided at the sanctuary.
Breakfast and dinner isn’t included on the programme cost, so you and fellow volunteers can either cook or go out to eat together at a local restaurant.
