In spacious enclosures ringed around a large grassy area, Forester kangaroos lounge about like beach-goers at this impressive wildlife park – its name derives from an Aboriginal word meaning "native companion." You'll see Tasmanian devils, wombats, echidnas, quolls and a couple of mainland imports – koalas and emus – and you can watch vets working at the hospital, treating resident and rescued wildlife. Nocturnal tours available. Bonorong is 18km west of Richmond, well signed on the edge of Brighton.
