It is home to the Australian Wildlife Centre, a hospital that treats more than 2000 sick and injured native animals every year. Set in a beautiful natural environment, it offers a place for people and animals to reconnect with nature from the creek to the canopy and plays a critical role in saving some of the world's most endangered animals. There are various presentations and shows for you to choose from, including the Spirits of the Sky. When you get hungry, you can take advantage of the picnic facilities, with BYO lunch, or there's also a bistro on-site with delicious meals for purchase. You'll depart for your return to the city at 1:15 pm, arriving in Melbourne at around 2:30 pm.
