Aussie Ark offers behind the scene tours for Summer Holidays

Popular demand has seen conservation organisation Aussie Ark once again open its Barrington Tops facility to the public for the summer holidays.

The Open Days, which offer a special glimpse into the behind-the-scenes work of this world-recognised conservation organisation, will run the entire month of January 2024. Public can access the facility from 10.30am to 2pm daily from January 1st to the 31st, with two tours offered daily at 11am and 12.30pm.

A BBQ lunch will also be prepared, and snacks and merchandise are available at the Interpretative Centre.

Aussie Ark Managing Director Liz Gabriel shared “Our Open Days are an affordable day out and offer a ‘taster’ of what Aussie Ark is all about up here at the Barrington Tops.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for people of all ages to be in the great outdoors, share the knowledge of our expert staff, ask questions, take photos, and see our beautiful Australian wildlife in a natural landscape.”

Each tour lasts for about an hour. Visitors will be guided by Aussie Ark staff and have the opportunity to witness a social feed of Tasmanian Devils and get close encounters with baby animals including Tasmanian Devil, Eastern quoll and Rufous bettong joeys.

For those who want to maximise their visit to the Barrington Tops, Aussie Ark has accommodation just 15 minutes’ drive from the facility; Devils Retreat – a contemporary home able to sleep ten people – and the quaint Quoll Cottage, able to sleep eight.
