Cooberrie Park Wildlife Sanctuary is a family-friendly Australian wildlife sanctuary set within a historic botanical garden established over 100 years ago in Yeppoon, Central Queensland. The park offers a variety of interactive animal encounters featuring koalas, kangaroos, crocodiles, reptiles, and parrots, along with a popular junior zookeeper program and daily animal shows at 1pm. Conservation is at the heart of the sanctuary, with more than 100 sick, injured, and orphaned animals rehabilitated and returned to the wild each year. Long-term care residents serve as ambassadors for their species, and the park runs successful breeding programs for koalas and cassowaries. Cooberrie Park accepts transfers from government departments and the RSPCA, making it a vital hub for wildlife care in the region and a wonderful educational destination for all ages.
