We had a great time on this tour. The bus picks you up outside your hotel, and then takes you first to Richmond. Richmond was much more interesting than I at first anticipated. The entire town is historical. You get to see the old brick buildings and many other historical sites. There is a small indoor market, and there are also plenty of interesting novelty shops. After a short stay in Richmond, you drive out to the wildlife park, where you learn about Tasmanian devils, koalas, wombats, etc. You can actually pet the koalas and wombats. You also get to feed the kangaroos. This was a wonderful half-day tour, and the driver was very informative and amusing.
Interacting with over 100 free roaming kangaroos was a one of a kind experience, and had a great time learning about all the other animals that have been rescued. Beautiful location as well.
Bonorong was really neat, but I wish I had a little more time to enjoy it there. They offered a guided tour and we got to touch a koala. The Richmond part of the tour was a bit disappointing. We wanted to see a gaol - and we did tour the gaol there - but it wasn't a part of the tour and cost extra and wasn't guided. The driver we had was one of the best.
This was a great tour, just alittle rushed. The Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary is small, but so informative and wonderful. This wildlife sancutary, cares deeply for all the animals that are brought here. You will love seeing all the Aussie animals. The tour of Richmond was great too, but didn't have much more than 45 minutes here. Not enough time, but well worth it anyway. Seeing the Richmond Jail was very interesting as well. I do recommend going on this tour.
Bonorong was informative and entertaining. Well worth the trip. The Richmond tour was only an hou, but a pretty city to wander through.
I enjoyed this trip, my only criticism would be that both the stops at Richmond and the wildlife park are too short and you feel really rushed at each location. Richmond reminded me of an old english village. The wildlife park was great and I always enjoy feeding kangaroos!
One of the best stops of the trip!
A smashing trip despite the weather - it poured all day. A great driver/guide took us first for a short stay in Richmond. We visited the local gaol and a bakery - both equally interesting. We then headed off to Bonorong. What a fantastic place! It is a sanctuary for injured and attacked animals from all over Tasmania. They aim to return the animals to the wild wherever possible too. Fed loads of kangaroos - some with joeys in their pouches. One of the staff then took us on a tour of some of the other animals including Tasmanian Devils, koalas and wombats. Her love and respect for these animals shone through. A small wildlife park but a totally worthwhile and enjoyable visit.
