The Zoo cares for over 200 animals in the ten-acre wildlife park which also features the world-renowned koala breeding centre. 

Be sure to see the new Eagle Aviary and Fennec Fox enclosure. Weighing around only 1 kilogram, Fennec Foxes are the smallest of all foxes and at the Billabong Zoo, there are two, five-year-old brother and sister. 

You can also book Animal Encounters for a very special up-close experience. 

There is a great Zoo Café and Zoo Shop serving delicious hot food, snacks, ice-cream, coffee and drinks. You can also come away with a great memento at popular the Zoo Shop. 

One resident, you won’t want to get too close to is Shrek the Crocodile. Shrek is a “monster” crocodile. Now approaching 5m in length and weighing over 500 kilograms he is about 50 years old. An adult Saltwater crocodile generally has 65–67 teeth and is believed to have the greatest bite pressure of any living animal. Shrek is one of the finest examples of his species.
