Chloe C., 2022

Walkabout Wildlife Park (“Walkabout”) is a one-of-a-kind conservation facility. Since 2005, this organization has pursued the goal of conservation through education.
The 80-acre property is home to over 200 captive animals who are protected and cared for by the Walkabout staff. Many are rescues that are unreleasable, while some are wildly occurring. In addition, Walkabout cares for and conserves 170 acres of natural habitat.
Walkabout is ZAA accredited (the Australian version of the AZA) and holds itself to very high standards of care. For some animals, including Tasmanian devils, Greater bilbies and Eastern quolls, it participates in breeding programs when the animals can be released to help repopulate areas that have recently been made safe for that species.
Who lives at Walkabout? Animals that live naturally in the bush of Australia’s Eastern Central Coast Hinterland, including:
• Lots of free-ranging macropods such as kangaroos, wallaroos, wallabies, bettongs, and pademelons
• Possums and sugar gliders
• Tasmanian devils and quolls
• Bandicoots and potoroos
• Echidnas
• Wombats
• Emus
• Various species of parrots
• Predatory birds including kookaburras and tawny frogmouths
• Dingoes and flying foxes
• Reptiles including pythons, dragons, skinks, and turtles
• Some introduced farm species including alpacas, peacocks, and goats
This combination of native and exotic species, in a natural native environment, are cared for on a limited budget and with limited resources. Your tuition dollars help to fund conservation projects and to provide excellent care to the animals on the property (and of course to educate you, too!)
Walkabout functions as a small zoological park, welcoming day visitors who want to learn about the animals. Loop Abroad students living on the groups will use Walkabout as our classroom for studying veterinary medicine.
During your program, you will be able to get up-close with many of the animals, including touching and handling many of the animals on the property. However, the goal of zoo medicine and wildlife medicine is not to hold and snuggle as many animals as you can. Instead, the focus of this program is on learning about each of these Australian animals from a veterinary perspective, from their anatomy to their diets to their enrichment needs, so that you can learn to properly handle and care for them.
Many of these animals are endemic to Australia and access to them in a learning environment is not available anywhere else in the world. Each day’s course-work will give you an understanding of Australian animals and their anatomy, handling, habitat, normal behavior, pathology, assessment, enrichment, and conservation of these mammals, birds, and reptiles. Working in the Australian bush gives you a valuable opportunity to learn to work without a veterinary hospital and provide a high standard of care with limited equipment.
(Yes, you will get to touch a kangaroo and a koala. No, you won’t get to pick up the koala – leave that poor koala alone!)
We will live at Walkabout for the duration of the program (except for two nights in Sydney). The student groups share a house, which allows you to get to know one another and share meals together. Students will be in rooms of two to six students each separated by gender in bunk style beds, with shared bathrooms. There is one inside shower/toilet and a separate building just outside of the main house with three toilets and four shower “rooms” with a sink. Water and propane conservation is of importance at Walkabout. Showers should be 5 minutes or less to conserve both of these resources.
Breakfast and lunch are self-serve and include options such as cereal, toast, salads, and sandwiches. Dinners are prepared in one option each day (with a vegetarian alternative) and may include pizza, vegetable stir fry with chicken (or tofu), hamburgers (or veggie burgers), and fries. Snacks and drinks are provided, but additional drinks and snacks (chips, chocolate, soda) are available for purchase. No alcohol is permitted at Walkabout’s facility. We can accommodate vegan, vegetarian, other dietary restrictions, or food allergies.
During our time in Sydney, we will stay in a hostel in the central area of the city. Students will be in shared rooms by gender with only other Loop students and shared bathrooms and showers down the hall.
Laundry is accessible on-site, but at a fee to student. It is $8 AUD to wash and dry a load of clothes.
Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park is located about a 1.5 drive outside of Sydney, Australia. This program is located out in the bush and you’ll be staying on site for most of the trip.
Australia’s seasons are opposite of what you typically experience in the states. Winter weather is experienced during the months of May to August.
Average temperatures range from a high of 68°F to a low of 48°F from May to August.
G’day, Mate! Welcome to Australia! Groups typically arrive in the morning at Sydney Airport. After immigration, collect your bag and complete the customs process. After meeting the staff, the group then takes a private chartered bus 1.5 hours to Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park, where you’ll be greeted by the kangaroos that wander freely on the property.
All our rooms are in one big house here, where we also have space to have meetings, eat meals, and do activities. We get to live right in Walkabout so that we have access to our wildlife campus space at all times. Once we’re oriented and have our footing in the bush, we’ll get right to work!
Starting on Monday, your schedule is similar on most days at the Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park, where you and your group are busy all day learning the ins and outs of caring for Australian animals. Breakfast is continental style and typically followed by a combination of hands-on labs, veterinary lectures, and assisting the rangers in feeding, husbandry, and care of the animals at the center.
Lunch is from 12:30-1:30 pm and is “make your own” cold cut sandwiches, wraps, soup, sausage sizzle, savory pie, etc. After lunch, you have labs that correlate with what you learned in the morning.
Labs include postmortem necropsies on wildlife found deceased in the area, suture lab, hematology and diagnostics lab, blow dart lab, and physical exams on animals such as Australian reptiles, guinea pigs, rabbits, and goats.
This underlying coursework and training helps provide the necessary “koala”-fications so that you can safely be in enclosures with the animals, handle them, or provide their necessary care. In your small groups, students participate in a handling lab where you learn how to safely restrain echidnas, parrots, snakes, and other native species. Participants who are rabies vaccinated spend time inside the flying fox enclosure learning how to perform health checks and husbandry care.
Dinner is served around 6:00 every evening and is prepared by the Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park staff. You can expect food like pizza night, tacos, BBQ, and lasagna.
It’s not all work! You’ll have a chance to explore the First Nations People sites on the property, practice your hand at throwing a boomerang, and do some stargazing in the Southern sky to learn how stars are still used today in telling First Nations People stories. There are ancient engravings and hand stencils dating back at least 4000 years on Walkabout’s property!
One day during your time at the Walkabout, we get off-campus together for an excursion to Terrigal Beach. The day starts with a guided coastal walk/hike where you have a chance to see some beautiful scenery on the Australian coast. Keep your eyes on the water for the possibility of seeing humpback whales breach in the distance!
After the walk, the bus departs for a packed lunch picnic at the Marine Discovery Center. We have a tour of the marine center and the opportunity to participate in a necropsy on an aquatic species for research.
You have a few hours to explore the small township of Terrigal. There are small shops, tidal pools, and beach views to see. After dinner in Terrigal, we head back to the Walkabout Wildlife Park. This is a great day to refresh, relax, learn about marine life, and see another piece of Australia.
On the last Thursday of your program, we’ve got an early breakfast and then a chartered bus picks us up to drive the group back to Sydney. We’ll just drop off our luggage at the hostel and head back out to explore the city.
A scenic walk to Circular Quay brings us to catch a ferry boat to the Taronga Zoo for free time in the zoo (and amazing views of Sydney). A Taronga zoo vet or vet team staff member will give students a behind-the-scenes tour of the hospital. Please note, NO cellphones are allowed to be used during this tour! This is a very special opportunity to see how one of the most respected zoos on Earth does what it does every day to care for all the animals that live there.
After the tour, the group takes the ferry back to check into your rooms at the hostel. There is free time in the city until 10:00 pm curfew. Staff is available and all students will be given contact and meeting information if they need anything.
Lunch and dinner on Thursday and Friday day are at your own expense (can range from $20-35AUD). There are many delicious restaurants around the Sydney Harbor with a great atmosphere.
On Friday, breakfast is provided at the hostel and you are free to explore Sydney until 10:00 PM on Friday night.
There are many free and low cost activities to do in your free time around Sydney and it is very easy to use public transportation! Many participants enjoy souvenir shopping along Sydney Harbor and walking to the famous Sydney Opera House and beautiful botanical gardens. Some choose to schedule tours on Friday such as the whale watching tours that depart from the Circular Quay. Bondi Beach and Manley Beach are also nearby for a full beach day. This is a DRY program – no alcohol, drugs, tattoos in SYD during free time. You are prohibited from participating in high-risk activities (such as SCUBA, ziplining, rock climbing, etc) but otherwise it is your free time to enjoy!
Get ready to say goodbye to the land down under! Departure is usually bright and early on Saturday morning. Breakfast is included and the chartered bus takes students to the airport at 6:00 am to catch their flight home.
Loop Abroad is proud to be at the forefront of animal welfare and ethical interactions with animals. Any handling of wildlife on our programs has a benefit to the animal and a teaching component for students. Please note that this program does not have a lot of wildlife handling, as the Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park is a wildlife sanctuary (does not have a clinic on site) and many animals are for endangered animal re-release programs or from the wild and therefore are highly stressed by human interaction. While you do have the opportunity to be near the koalas, there is NO koala holding, as this is illegal in New South Wales.
A rabies vaccine is required in order to handle the flying foxes. (Students without a rabies vaccine may interact with all animals except flying foxes.)
Orientation will include a “snake and spider safety” class. However programs take place during Australian winter when snakes and spiders are not prevalent. We suggest that you speak with a travel doctor and follow his or her advice on what vaccines or preventatives are best for you.
There are lots of ways to help fund your online and travel programs with Loop Abroad, and we are here to help!
