You’re absolutely guaranteed of meeting wildlife – and feeding, patting, swimming, diving and walking with it. There are wildlife sanctuaries, reserves and tours in every region. Top experiences include the platypus discovery experience, diving with dolphins, seals and weedy sea dragons. You can walk along treetop boardwalks in a koala sanctuary, watch the little penguins at dusk on Phillip Island, take a lantern-lit night-time tour where little gliders will take nectar from your hand. Bird lovers flock to a sanctuary that’s home to 150 species of birds, a spirits of the sky bird presentation, and the chance to get right up close to rare and endangered species. HELLO ADRENALIN! Soar through the treetops on flying foxes, take a high ropes climbing challenge. Go even higher on a dawn balloon flight, floating over vineyards before a champagne breakfast. French Island is a little treasure trove of natural wilderness, just a ferry ride from the Mornington Peninsula or Phillip Island. Hop into an off-road vehicle and go discovering. Jet boats and racing boats give you a thrill a minute as you explore Phillip Island’s dramatic coastlines, or cruise out to one of Australia’s largest wild fur seal colonies at Seal Rocks. In the You Yangs, north of Geelong, eco tours show you Australian wildlife in its natural habitat, or you can strike out on your own and hike to the top of Flinders Peak. There’s accommodation with an adventurous tweak too… luxury cottages surrounded by a nature reserve, glamping and hosted lakeside accommodation. 1 2 3 4 1.
