Virtual Tour of Healesville Sanctuary

Keeper Darren takes us on a virtual tour of Healesville Sanctuary introducing us to many of Australia's iconic animal species in a natural bushland setting.
Note: this video was filmed in autumn 2020.

I was taken there in 2000 by a very dear friend I was visiting in Melbourne, now sadly gone. It was a perfectl day in a good place. Thank you.

I just been there yesterday and I saw cute koalas sleeping on trees and one koala eating leaves. I also saw a dingo sleeping and I saw echidna’s hiding in bushes. It was soooo cute! Edit: Not to mention, they had this awesome show of birds called ‘Spirits Of The Sky’ yesterday Friday. I watched the show there and it was amazing! My favourite bird was the white one that said ‘Hi’ and danced and did a tiger growl and said ‘Bye!’. It was so funny and cute! I even had a picnic there with my friends. I had fun there, this is an amazing place 😊

This is good because of all of the bushfires that have been happening in Australia. Thanks Healesville :-)

i love echidnas

[@ospreyeagle7]

Thank you so much, such great footage. Nature in all of its glory...Thank you for all that you do for conservation. The World of animals really needs you now more than ever. I believe we were put on The Earth, humans that is, to take care of The Planet and that includes all of the animal species and Plants etc and Earth Herself. How blessed we are to live on The Earth and how we need to Care for Her in any way we can. Even small ways like creating an insect and bird sanctuary with appropriate Plants that have plenty of flowers for the insects and native plants for native birds etc. And a bird bath kept clean with fresh water all contributes towards looking after our area of The Earth. Lets show our gratitude to Earth by caring for her more and showing her love by our actions of Love. Again thank you Team at Healesville Sanctuary for all you do to care for the animals and their Future.

[@epicgaming253]

Awesome

[@angelcempel9288]

In 2016-2017 we found a baby wombat on our street who had unfortunately fallen out of mums pouch due to impact. Mum scurried always injured into the bush at night, and we were unable to safely get her, so we were told to leave her. However we got the baby, and took him to an emergency vet. We was then discharged the next day to Healesville sanctuary which is amazing, and we were so happy. A real long shot, but would you possibly have him still, or would he have eventually been re-released?

[@aalaadam4379]

I love aLl the animals

[@KNIFEYSPOONY02]

Im currently looking forward to working with animals at any of the Victorian zoo's but due to covid, the course at Melbourne zoo is closed. I hope to get in soon😀
