Serendip Sanctuary, Victoria

10,000 Birds

It is free to enter Serendip Sanctuary and as you drive or walk up the road into the parking area there are opportunities to see kangaroos and wallabies as you can see above. Almost 200 bird species have been recorded at Serendip Sanctuary and I was not disappointed with my day out. The Cape Barren Geese had goslings when I visited.
