There’s nothing quite like making new furry friends! 🦘💚

Our kangaroos and wallabies love meeting visitors, and hand-feeding them is an experience the whole family will remember. Just look at this little wildlife lover enjoying a special moment in our walk-through paddock!

“Blink and you’ll miss it…” 👀🦎

Caught our Komodo Dragon mid-blink here at Snakes Downunder Reptile Park & Zoo 💚📸

Even the world’s largest living lizard needs to blink sometimes! With his head held high and keeping a close eye on everything happening around him, this incredible reptile was enjoying a calm moment before getting back to business.

Komodo Dragons are powerful, intelligent predators and one of the most fascinating species you can see up close here at the park!

Come say hello to this prehistoric-looking giant on your next visit to Snakes Downunder 🐍🦎

With heavy hearts we share the passing of our beloved Koala, Matilda.

She was one of the most recognised & cherished members of our zoo family, she touched the hearts of guests, staff & volunteers alike. Even at 26 years old she still had lots of sass & really was the Queen of our Koala enclosure.

Matilda will be missed by us all. 💗

We thank all our visitors over the years for the love shown to Matilda & invite everyone to share their memories & photos as we celebrate a remarkable life 🍃

Spotted: one very relaxed Yellow Spotted Monitor enjoying the great outdoors 🦎🌿

These Aussie Monitors are known for their incredible climbing skills, sharp senses, and those striking yellow markings that make them stand out from the crowd 👀✨

Fun fact, they can grow over a metre long and are always curious about what’s going on around them!

Just another day relaxing in the grass for one of our beautiful Mertens’ Water Monitors 🦎☀️

These semi-aquatic goannas are amazing swimmers and love spending time near the water, but every now and then you’ll catch them soaking up the sunshine on land too!

Have you spotted one during your visit to Snakes Downunder? 👀

👀 Have you spotted our resident Eastern Water Dragon during your visit to Snakes Downunder? 🦎🌿

This little local loves hanging around the gardens and soaking up the sunshine between shows! They’re completely wild, but seem pretty happy calling the park home 💚
