My favourite experiences were hanging out with the bilbies.
March 01, 2025by: Rebecca VerezProgram: Australia - Wild Animal SanctuaryIt 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.
