COME VISIT US!
The Charleville Bilby Experience offers a must-see show! Join a tour of our nocturnal house (where we alter the timing so that the bilby’s night is during our day) and see some super cute bilbies during their night-time activities. After an engaging talk by one of our keepers you will understand more about the plight of this delightful eco-engineer and exactly why they are worth saving from extinction.
The Save the Bilby Fund has been working hard on the breeding facility here in Charleville and we have produced over 80 babies in the last couple of years. Our management of the pairings (ensuring genetic diversity) means that we are helping build up the bilby populations across Australia with the intent of insuring them against extinction. Protecting bilbies and their environments mean that many many other native Australian species will also be saved.
Lastly, round off your visit by purchasing a bilby souvenir in the gift shop – all bilby souvenirs and donations benefit the work of Save the Bilby Fund. Or become a Mate of the Bilby and support them all year round.
Bilby Tracks is a unique program that takes participants on a journey of learning and discovery from the bilby crèche and Charleville Bilby Experience to the predator-exclusion Bilby Fence at Currawinya National Park in western Queensland.
Each trip is limited to 20 participants and accompanied by experienced Save The Bilby Fund staff.
No trips are currently on the horizon but will be promoted on our website when they are.
