Australia is home to over 800 species of lizards, but few are as awe-inspiring as the Perentie, our largest and most formidable goanna. Reaching lengths of over 2 meters, these apex predators rule the arid landscapes west of the Great Dividing Range. Simpson is our resident Perentie, you can visit him across from our southern hairy nose wombats. Ask our staff for Simpson’s feeding and training times. #townsville #billabongsanctuary #australia #wildlife #seeaustralia #varanid #goanna #perentie #m

Apex predators play a vital role in protecting our biodiversity. They help control invasive species, which compete and predate on smaller, threatened native wildlife. Apex predators also prevent overgrazing, which protects Australia’s vegetation, waterways, and our reefs. Come learn about the ecological and cultural importance of some of Australia’s most iconic predators. Daily educational talks - Crocodile: 12:00 & 3:15 Dingos: 1:45 | Billabong Sanctuary

Our Frilled-neck Lizards may be small tree-dwellers, but they’ve got a seriously dramatic flair — their frill can open to around 30cm across! The rest of the time you’ll find them perched on trunks and branches hunting for invertebrates perfectly camouflaged against the bark. | Billabong Sanctuary

Happy World Tree Kangaroo Day! Today we’re celebrating these tree-dwelling marsupials found in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and parts of Australia—including the elusive Lumholtz’s tree kangaroo like Dave right here in Queensland. Sadly, 7 out of the 14 species are considered Endangered or Critically Endangered due to habitat destruction, defragmentation, over-hunting, injury, and death due to cars and dogs. With many species under threat, this day highlights the importance of protecting their ra

Did you know Australia once had two species of bilby? The Lesser Bilby (Macrotis leucura) was declared extinct in the 1950s, with the last confirmed records around 1931. It disappeared due to habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and competition with rabbits. Today, only the Greater Bilby (Macrotis lagotis) survives, but it is also under threat. Once found across most of mainland Australia, it is now restricted to small pockets of the arid interior. Predation by foxes and feral cats, co

Happy World Wombat Day! Did you know a group of wombats is called a wisdom? These stocky marsupials are expert diggers, creating long tunnel systems underground to stay cool and safe from predators. We’re proud to have two species of wombat here at Billabong Sanctuary. Our Southern Hairy-nosed wombats — Yala, Cleo, and Manfred — are specially adapted for life in Australia’s drier inland regions. We’re also home to the Common Bare-nosed wombats Ruben and Allira, a species found throughout eastern

Hope, one of our Southern Cassowaries, plays a vital role in the Wet Tropics ecosystem. Renowned for their seed dispersal, cassowaries help distribute the seeds of over 100 different plant species. By swallowing large fruits whole and spreading seeds through their droppings, cassowaries help regenerate our rainforests, making their presence in the wild absolutely essential. Despite their importance, Southern Cassowaries are under threat with less than 4,000 left in the wild. Threatened due to ha
