Wildlife conservation in Australia

Australia may be more famous for having animals you should avoid rather than get up close to, but for those who like working with animals the country offers a treasure trove of strange animals with even stranger names. So come along and do voluntary work with the laughing kookaburra and the gliding possum, but make sure you bring your camera!

Australia Travels

i-to-i tours take you right to the heart of the country, almost literally in the case of our Nature conservation tour which takes you into the ‘red centre’. You plan your own tour so you could work with animals like anteaters on Kangaroo Island or yellow-footed wallabies in South Australia. If you’re someone who wants to help animals in danger of extinction then our wallaby rehabilitation project on Queensland is perfect for you. The perfect addition to a gap year this tour involves you in wildlife preservation in the wild terrain of the outback.
