Nestled in the heart of the Otways along the spectacular Great Ocean Road, Wildlife Wonders offers a rare glimpse into a thriving natural world where native wildlife roams freely, safe from introduced predators, and surrounded by protected habitats, all just 3.5 hours from Melbourne

Guided by an ecological conservationist, the experience invites you to explore the unknown and begin decoding nature’s hidden language. Wander through eucalypt woodlands, ancient fern gullies and coastal grasslands to discover the remarkable connections within these ecosystems. From tracks in the soil to birdsongs in the canopy, and the quiet workings of fungi beneath your feet, the environment is alive with messages waiting to be understood.

At our onsite Research Base, learn how scientists from the Conservation Ecology Centre are working to uncover the mysteries of the natural world—contributing to the protection and recovery of threatened species with the long term aim to ensure healthy, resilient ecosystems across the Otways.

Wildlife Wonders is engaging, educational, and uniquely inspiring—what more could you want this National Science Week as we journey into the unknown through the stories nature tells?

Just for National Science Week, every child (including students) can explore the wonders of the Otways for free (with a paying adult) on our Walk with Wildlife experience.

Wildlife Wonders is a social enterprise, and 100% of profits are invested in conservation and research.
