During our tour from the port of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia we visited the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary near Brighton, around a 30-minute drive from the cruise port. Bononrong means native friend or companion, and all the animals at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary are native to Tasmania. This is a true sanctuary, not a zoo. They rescue injured, ill and orphaned animals with the goal of releasing healthy animals back into the wild. For those too old, ill or injured, they care for the animals. It is a great place to see and get close to native Tasmanian animals. The keepers know the animals and know each individual animal well.

The animals we met that day were -
Tasmanian Devil
Tiger Snake
Rainbow Lorikeet
A Cockatoo called Fred
Albino Pademelon
Quokka
Forester Kangaroos (and there is Kangaroo food available to feed them!)
Tawny Frogmouth
Echidnas - we met Luigi who was missing a leg
Stella the Wombat

It is such an incredible place. Feeding the kangaroos was fabulous and learning about the animals made it such a personal visit. If you are in Tasmania, I highly recommend it!
