Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park
We are thrilled to share the delightful experiences from our recent excursion to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park. The Wildlife Park provided our international students with a unique opportunity to engage with Australia's diverse wildlife and learn about conservation efforts in a hands-on environment. Students participated in guided tours to observe nocturnal creatures in their natural habitats, gaining insights into the behaviors of animals like the Tasmanian devil, dingo, koala, Shingleback Lizard, and even a python. The highlights of the day included interactive wildlife encounters, where students had the chance to feed kangaroos and wallabies. Our students loved interacting with the wallabies so much that they could not move ahead while wallabies walked by!

Students’ Testimonies
It was an impressive trip. I enjoyed spending time with my friends. I had close contact with numerous animals. They were cute and easy to get close to. I also learned a lot during this excursion. I learned that dingoes are more like wolves than dogs, that wombats live underground, and their pouches are facing the ground as this helps them stay clean. But the animal that impressed me the most was definitely the kangaroo. They were so smart and strong. My friends and I fed them and took lots of photos. I had a great time at Moonlit Sanctuary Zoo. Through this trip, I got closer to my friends, made new friends, and gained a lot of knowledge. I hope we can have more such study tour opportunities to enrich my school life.

I had an amazing time visiting the Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Park and getting up close to the incredible variety of Australian animals. The excursion was not only enjoyable but also highly educational. Personally, I was particularly fascinated by the diverse range of reptiles on display. Starting from the 43-year-old shingleback lizard called "Gramps." This unique lizard has a distinctive and prickly texture, much like a pine-cone lizard. We also had the opportunity to observe a python, which was truly captivating given the fact that it isn't a venomous reptile. Overall, the experience of feeding the kangaroos, and observing the Tasmanian devil, Quoll, koala, and various birds was truly remarkable. It provided us with a great opportunity to learn more about these animals, not only in terms of their unique characteristics as we were able to delve deep into their distinct traits and behaviors, gaining insights into their lives and the critical significance of their environment.
