Nature Trail

Hanson Bay Sanctuary has set aside a fully fenced feral-free area of 250 acres to enable some of the more vulnerable species of wildlife to thrive without the threat of predatory feral animals. Beautiful vegetation, birdlife and animals all come together to make this an enjoyable bush walk.

You will encounter Koalas, Goannas, Wallabies, Kangaroos and maybe an Echidna. The Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary is also known for its wonderful birdlife. You can expect to see Blue Wrens, Scarlet Robins, Lorikeets, Scrub Wrens, Bush Stone-Curlews and Cape Barren Geese on this walk.

The Nature Trail normally will take you ninety minutes, but stay longer if you wish. Take your camera, water bottle and binoculars.
