Karakamia Wildlife Sanctuary
|
| The
name “Karakamia” is an aboriginal word meaning home of the Red-tailed
Black Cockatoos; so named because at dusk the air is filled with the
sound of their “karak, karak” call. Visitors can experience the magic
of Karakamia Sanctuary
by participating in a two hour guided walk at dusk. Setting off along a
bush track just before sunset, you are likely to see a number of
nocturnal animals including Woylies, Tammar Wallabies, & Quenda
(Southern Brown Bandicoots). This is a special experience as many of the
animals you will see cannot readily be seen in a national park. For
more information and bookings visit the Karakamia Sanctuary website. |
