🌟 Reflecting on a Year of Conservation Success at Billabong Zoo! 🌟

As 2024 comes to a close, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our conservation efforts this year, especially those who attended the Eastern Bristlebird Fundraiser.

Thanks to the incredible turnout and additional fundraising efforts, we are proud to announce that Billabong Zoo has been able to commit to making a significant donation to support Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in their vital work protecting this critically endangered native bird. 🐦💚

Australia is known as the “Land of the Birds,” and here at Billabong Zoo, we celebrate that heritage every day. Did you know Billabong Zoos location was originally being developed as a bird-specific attraction for the Port Macquarie Hastings region many years ago? Today, we’re home to dozens of bird species, making us the perfect destination to explore the beauty of Australia’s avian wildlife.

📅 This summer, add a visit to Billabong Zoo to your holiday plans! Come and meet our incredible bird species and so much more.

A special thank you to Keeper Kelsie for creating unforgettable moments with animal meet-and-greets during the fundraiser, and to the amazing Jim for hosting the evening with such energy and passion.

Here’s to more conservation wins in 2025! 🐾
