Top-10 List: Our Favourite Wildlife Experiences around Australia
[ more Top-10 Lists ]
This list is our own personal top Wildlife experiences we have had in our travels around Australia, many from our 2008 around Australia trip, plus others added as we continue to explore Australia. There are too many to just limit them to only 10, so we just keep adding!
Quokkas on Rottnest Island, WA
The iconic and friendly quokkas are very photogenic on Rottnest Island, off the coast of Perth, Western Australia

The kangaroos are very friendly at Lucky Bay, near Esperance, Western Australia. A very Aussie experience
