“To lead, inspire and empower people to conserve Tasmania's native wildlife.”
Bonorong Wildlife Conservation Centre specialises in wildlife conservation, education and animal care and is committed to the conservation of Tasmania's native species.
Come and visit us for an amazing experience. Bonorong was established in 1981 as a sanctuary for injured Tasmanian wildlife. The name ‘Bonorong’ is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘native companion’.
We are the closest wildlife park to Hobart located just twenty-five minutes north of the Hobart CBD at Brighton. Bonorong is managed by a dedicated team of experts in wildlife research, management and eco-tourism.
