Australia - Wild Animal Sanctuary

I loved getting to spend time with the other volunteers and rangers. We all had a lot of fun together while we were working. I also loved getting to walk Gundy the wombat on a leash. He was my favorite animal at the sanctuary

Overall, I am extremely satisfied, especially with the support and guidance provided by the owner and rangers of Walkabout Sanctuary. What impressed me the most was their remarkable care and dedication to the injured animals, Gundi and Gonkey. Truly admirable!

It was so amazing, I loved being part of the team! My favourite experiences were hanging out with the Bilbies, giving a blue lizard a bath, and seeing so many wild possums on a night tour of the park.

The most memorable experience during my stay in Australia was probably just being able to immerse myself in the care of the native wildlife in Australia that I wouldn't have gotten to experience being in the states.

I had one of the most beautiful experiences that i had in my life. You gave me an amazing month.<br>I felt that the tim trust end appreciation me.I could be in anywhere that I wanted. The tim was amazing. I've to go every morning to working.

The people day in and day out caring for animals and their coworkers. They respected our help and time. My favorite part was learning the place and understanding the animals and their needs over my stay. I loved learning about animals care and all the unique animals in Australia.

The most memorable experience is that I was allowed to feed and to hang out with the dingos with a ranger/level 5 volunteer a few times. Another memorable experience was there were a few staff members that took their time to go over and beyond and educate me about the animals , to be able to hold and to touch certain animals, and to get to know me. That personal touch goes a long way because it shows they care and that I am not just another volunteer. I realize they see so many but to show interest, empathy, positivity, energy, and concern goes a long way. To add I appreciated the fact that volunteers were allowed to walkabout the park after hours to check out the animals especially the nocturnal but also to go for a walk on their bush trail.

Friendly hosts and staff of the Wildlife Animal Sanctuary program. The team is so dedicated and knowledgeable which is very impressive. Unforgettable experience in working for all these lovely animals.

I was basically living in a Zoo for 3 weeks and I loved every second of it. I got up close and personal with the animals, and there were lots of cool volunteers my age there, so it felt easy to get started.

I’ll never forget the novelty and cuteness overload of seeing free ranging kangaroos with baby joeys in the pouch! The rangers were so knowledgeable about how each animal interacted with the natural environment, it’s clear that educating people about maintaining the integrity of the animals’ natural habitat is of utmost importance to this sanctuary.

Working with the rangers and getting to care for the animals was an incredible experience. I also loved being able to go walk around the park at my leisure after the work was done and hang out with kangaroos and Happy Feet the emu.

Everything was amazing! Right from the start with customer service at GoEco to the team at the park. Everyone was fantastic. I knew exactly what to expect with all the information given to me beforehand. I loved every minute of it.

It was an incredible experience, the staff is very serious and competent. They really need our support to allow animals to live in the best conditions. Every day we learn how to take care of them with dedication and self-sacrifice. Loving animals does not mean stroking and kissing them all day or feeding them, it means making them live in healthy conditions and protecting them from environmental aggressions. I recommend it to all animal lovers.

It was great to see all the Australian animals in the sanctuary and work with the amazing people working in the wildlife park! We got a good training on how to behave in the bush and how to react towards snakes and spiders. Was a great experience

Actually every single moment in the sanctuary are memorable. Watching them living happily in the park make me feel so good because it shows that our work such as food preparation and cleaning are helpful. Thanks for providing this opportunity to work in the park as well as taking care of our accommodation, food and transport like the back supports that make us just enjoy the volunteer in the park.

Rangers and the programme coordinator Sam has share some of the history and development of the wildlife park, and the most unforgettable one is that the park was influenced by the bushfire and have to evacuate around 5 months ago. And that's so touchable. I would like to express my sincerest thanks to GoEco and the sanctuary. Thank you all of you to provide a chance for us to take care about those animals and help to maintain the daily operation that a shelter will face.

Made some wonderful friends which was a massive bonus! Animals were delightful and great to work with. All the rangers were brilliant and so helpful, they knew their stuff and I learned a lot from them!

My most memorable experiences were making new friends whilst living and working with them!! also make friends with people of the team, celebrating new year's eve in Sydney and all the adorable animals.

It was wonderful, meeting the animals and making friends. I loved working with all the Rangers they were all super helpful and informative. I have plans to go on another volunteer trip with the new friends and practically brand new family I made.

I absolutely adore the people I worked with and met. I made life long friends out of this experience. It also helped me determine that a job with animals is exactly what I want. I just can’t believe I got to do work where I felt so helpful and appreciate.
