We can cater for YOUR students!
Billabong Sanctuary is ideally placed to meet the requirements of visiting university and TAFE groups. The diversity of habitats, captive and non-captive organisms and a degree of flexibility allow you to focus your visit, regardless of your topic.
University and TAFE visits in the past have covered such topics as Australian vertebrate fauna, captive vertebrate fauna, herpetology, and tourism studies (ecotourism). Whatever you are studying, staff are happy to work with lecturers, teachers and tutors to create a program that specifically caters to your needs.
ALL VISITS CAN INCLUDE:
- Private tuition and HANDS-ON encounters with a wide variety of Australian wildlife!
- THE BIG CROC FEED!!!
- Hand feeding of the free-ranging animals such as kangaroos and water birds.
- Meet some rare and endangered North Queensland wildlife, including cassowaries, quolls and northern bettongs.
