THE BEST PLACES TO SEE WILDLIFE IN AUSTRALIA - Australia is a country that appears on most people’s travel
bucket lists for a lot of different reasons, but one of the first things that
springs to mind when you think about this incredible country is surely the
wildlife. Australia is famous for being home to some of the most weird and
wonderful, and sometimes dangerous, creatures on the planet. Some people are
really put off by the wildlife in Australia after hearing stories about snakes
and spiders creeping into people’s houses but for a lot of people, seeing the
amazing wildlife is one of the main reasons to go to Australia. If you’re
planning a trip and you want to make sure that you get to see some great
wildlife while you’re out there, these are some of the best places to go.
Kangaroo Island
Kangaroos are the most
iconic Australian animal there is and it’s no surprise that you’ll find plenty
of them on Kangaroo
Island. This beautiful island
is only a 45 minute ferry ride from the mainland just south of Adelaide. The
majority of the island has been reserved as parkland so the wildlife can thrive
there and it’s not just Kangaroos that you’ll find. The island is home to all
sorts of different animals and birds including bandicoots, koalas, wallabies,
and sea lions as well. If you’re staying anywhere near the ferry port, it’s
definitely worth taking a day trip out to Kangaroo Island.
Mooloolaba
The Sunshine Coast is
one of the most popular areas in Australia for tourists but the city of
Mooloolaba is one of the
hidden gems that people don’t visit
as much. That’s a real shame because it’s a great destination, especially if
you’re a wildlife lover. There are some great aquariums and zoos in the area
where you’ll get the chance to see some of the animals that you might not
necessarily be able to spot in the wild.
