Book your accommodation and tours in Charleville
See bilbies in their nocturnal house and learn how our breeding facilities are making a massive difference at saving them from extinction.
The show has been revamped, you will not only see the super cute bilbies in their spectacular nocturnal house, but you will also learn about the plight of the bilby and their successful breeding and release program.
Following the guided tour, you will have time to ask questions, browse their informative displays and watch the short clips that are available.Tours
The Charleville Bilby Experience offers a must-see show! Join a tour of the nocturnal house (where they alter the timing so that the bilby’s night is during our day) and see some super cute bilbies during their nighttime activities. After an engaging talk by one of our keepers, you will understand more about the plight of this delightful eco-engineer and exactly why they are worth saving from extinction.
The Save the Bilby Fund has been working hard on the breeding facility here in Charleville and they have produced over 50 babies in the last couple of years. Their management of the pairings (ensuring genetic diversity) means that they are helping build up the bilby populations across Australia with the intent of insuring them against extinction. Protecting bilbies and their environments mean that many other native Australian species (some not as cute as our bilbies!) will also be saved.
Lastly, round off your visit by purchasing a bilby souvenir in the gift shop – all bilby souvenirs and donations benefit the work of the Save the Bilby Fund. Or become a Mate of the Bilby and support them all year round.
