ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS

Take a stroll around Australia Zoo with one of our gorgeous wombats.

These cheeky little Aussies would love you to join them on their next Zoo adventure! A Wombat Walk is a great opportunity to learn about these remarkable native mammals as they head out to grab some extra juicy grazing time at different areas around the zoo. If they stand still long enough you'll get to give them a good back rub as well.
