Tucked into the Adelaide Hills at Cudlee Creek, this fourteen-acre sanctuary has been held by the same family since 1965, and the continuity shows: shaded paths wind past one of the state's largest privately assembled collections of Australian animals. Kangaroos and wallabies graze in open enclosures where visitors can hand-feed them, and holding a koala remains a longstanding draw. Beyond the marquee species there are Tasmanian devils, wombats, dingoes, echidnas and quokkas, alongside a broad aviary of native and exotic birds. The scale is domestic rather than corporate — a collection built up slowly over six decades through licensed breeders and conservation programs rather than spectacle. It opens daily, closing only on Christmas Day and on days of catastrophic fire danger.
