Willandra Lakes National Park is home to many species of plant and animal, across its woodlands, grasslands and dry eucalypt forests.

In the early morning or late afternoon, Red, Eastern and Grey Kangaroos are feeding at Willandra National Park. There are also nine bat species, Water Rats, possibly Platypuses, Emus and over 170 bird species.

Take some time to appreciate the plains and watch the raptors hunting, as well as the wetlands where ducks, night herons and other waterbirds spend their time.

Eastern Pobblebonks, Bearded Dragons and many other frog and lizard species live in the area. Turtles frequent the wetlands. 

Thanks to the Foundation's acquisition of this property for the National Reserve system, these species can enjoy protected and undisturbed habitats.

The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife is the only organisation in Australia whose philanthropy is an investment in our public estate, for all to enjoy.
