Wildlife Habitat in Port Douglas is a great place to experience
Australian Wildlife from Crocodiles to Koalas. Designed in an open range style you will have the opportunity to walk amongst the animals, many of which have been rescued and brought back to health. The Centre is committed to ensuring that injured, orphaned, or sick animals are looked after in a professional and caring manner, and those which cannot return to the wild remain in the park. Experience some "reptile interraction"! See the crocodiles being fed, feed the wallabies yourself, or cuddle a Koala. Its a great day out, or they have night tours also.
