Join us at Yookamurra Wildlife Sanctuary and explore one of the oldest feral predator-free fenced areas in Australia. We will spend a day amongst the incredible old-growth mallee learning about the reintroduction and conservation programs at Yookamurra and enjoying the sounds of nature. Within the 1,100ha fenced area, Yookamurra protects populations of reintroduced bilbies, numbats, burrowing bettongs, and brush-tailed bettongs, as well as brushtail possums, malleefowl, western pygmy possums, and dunnarts. Outside the fenced area we have a large population of southern hairy-nosed wombats. Although we won’t be able to see our nocturnal species, we will see their habitats, tracks, and traces, and we will be keeping our eyes out for mallee birds like the hooded robin, Gilbert’s whistler, and brown treecreeper. And of course there is always a small chance of a rare elusive numbat sighting!
