Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary

Kangaroo Island

Get an inside look at the local environment and its inhabitants on your Australia tour as you learn about the role bushfires play within the ecosystem on an educational, private ecology tour of Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Learn how the sanctuary has worked to conserve and protect natural resources since 1997, but how this area was badly affected by the 2019/20 bushfires. Through your MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience, you’ll assist with their bushfire recovery plan and wildlife rehabilitation program. Learn from one of their experienced guides about the delicate ecosystem and Australian native animals. You may see Koalas, Kangaroos, Tammar Wallabies, Possums, Echidnas, the Rosenburg Goanna, and the Bush Stone Curlew as well as birds including Blue Wrens, Scarlet Robins, Lorikeets, Crimson Rosellas, and Black Cockatoos. Seeing Australia’s wildlife in its natural environment after destruction is both hopeful and a rare opportunity on your travels to experience what makes this part of the world so special.

Seal Bay

Kangaroo Island

Enjoy a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience on your Australia tour at one of the country’s most important sea lion breeding grounds at Seal Bay. On a guided walk, you’ll learn about the Australian sea lion—one of the rarest species in the world of only 12,000, 800 of which call Seal Bay home. Hear how these endangered animals hunt, surf, interact with their pups, defend their territory, and—as “eared” seals—use their front flippers to prop themselves up and their back flippers to help them to “walk” on land. Your entry fee assists in the extensive, environmentally sensitive upgrades to the Seal Bay infrastructure, including the boardwalks and visitor centre. In addition, the introduction of the Southern Kangaroo Island Marine Park protects the sea lion feeding environment from overfishing while the sanctuary zones keep them safe harm.

Wilpena Pound Resort

Ikara- Flinders Ranges

Travelling to the heart of the Flinders Ranges, your visit to Wilpena Pound Resort is a special chance to experience a place that has been owned by the Aboriginal Adnyamathanha people who have lived there for thousands of years. Know that your MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience visit to the resort helps by contributing towards the sustainable economic future of the Adnyamathanha who in turn work with the resort to minimize the environmental footprint and participate in the conservation of the region. Adnyamathanha (meaning “rock” or “hills people” in Yura Ngawarla) is a culture that has been passed down for generations in their spiritual connection to the sacred land. You’ll feel this connection as you are welcomed to Wilpena Pound Resort by an Aboriginal Elder or member of the local community and learn about the area in a traditional Welcome to Country ceremony—experiencing this stop on your Australia tour with the locals.
