Australia’s Wild Side

Sydney & Surrounds

Journey into the world of fascinating and sometimes dangerous wildlife. Discover how creatures use venom, stings, strength, and clever defences to survive – even the small or cute ones might surprise you!

Explore forests, backyards, and waterways filled with hidden hunters and unusual species, and learn how some plants can be both helpful and hazardous.

Through exciting stories and real-life examples, we’ll learn how to stay safe, respect wildlife, and understand the important role these species play in our environment.

We’ll also uncover how one of our closest animal companions began as a wild predator thousands of years ago.

Highlights:

  • Hands on participation
  • See incredible preserved specimens up close
  • Learn about these animal’s natural history and how their defences came about
  • Meet Nelson the friendly, trained working dog and learn how he was once our enemy
  • This experience could one day offer the knowledge to save somebody’s life

*The animal list is a guide to the program only; the provider may exclude or substitute animals from the list at their discretion.
