Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary

About

Jirrahlinga Koala & Wildlife Sanctuary cares for injured wildlife and is home to a wide range of native Australian wildlife including koalas, kangaroos, emus, dingoes and birds.

Story

Courtesy of Australian of the Year Awards:

Tehree Gordon developed a close affinity for animals as a child. In 1974 she purchased a five-acre property near Barwon Heads in Victoria and started a refuge for injured Australian wildlife. Three decades later the Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary houses over three hundred native animals and continues to nurse distressed and injured kangaroos, koalas, possums, birds and penguins back to health.
Tehree is equally committed to the well being of her fellow humans, recognising that her animals can bring joy and healing to people in need. Jirrahlinga regularly hosts abused and disadvantaged children, building their self-esteem through interaction with the animals.
Disabled people are also welcomed and Tehree administers a volunteer program providing care for pets of the ill and elderly. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in her mid-fifties, Tehree knows the importance of care and support.

Perfect place to get near by the Australian animals. They are super friendly with their animals and explain a lot. I loved visiting that place because it isn’t a zoo. It’s a sanctuary, where hurted animals or animals that lost their parents are getting a good life. It’s definitely worth a visit! The sanctuary only stays alive because of the entrance fee. So if you can, just leave a few penny’s for this beautiful place.

Very friendly staff and a good little wildlife sanctuary. Great opportunities to get up close and touch Wombats, Koalas and reptiles. Would definitely go back. They have a little cafe with snacks and drinks. Would love to take a picnic next time.

Great place, the kids enjoyed looking, patting and learning about the wildlife animals. The ranger and staff were very friendly, our family had fun and enjoyed our visit there. We will be recommending it to other families.
