What a great selection of local art to choose from, whilst contemplatiing choose a didgerigoo! Very relaxed and unpressured. Try to catch the kangaroo feeding time.

Great gallery showcasing indigenous artwork and Josephine also does free kangaroo feeding sessions twice a day: 12:30 and 5:30. Had lots of fun and got to pat the lovely tame kangaroos

WOW!!!!! what an amazing place with an equally amazing couple who have given up so much of their time to nurse back to health some joeys found along the roads when mums have been killed. Kids, big and little, even adults will love this place.

the Gallery is interesting but most people come for the Kangaroo Orphanage. nice to see Kangaroos so close and hear a little bit about their habits. The fun thing is that you can buy Kangaroo poo-poo there ;-) a useless thing but a great souvenir to bring with you

Jo and Terry are doing inspirational work with orphaned kangaroos. What a calling in life. Made me want to give up my day job and look for some way that I could contribute to our world in a more meaningful way. What a treat being able to see these magnificent creatures up close and personal. Feel lucky to live in... More

These guys are amazing! Such cute kangaroos and each with their own personality! The carers are doing a wonderful job and clearly love each roo as if it were a little human- including letting them sleep on their beds. Very interesting and informative!
