Moonlit Sanctuary is a conservation park on the Mornington Peninsula and was established by Michael Johnson who was inspired by the British Naturalist Gerald Durrell. Michael's concept was to develop a park where people could expierence the animals that roam Australia's bushland.
From humble beginnings the Park has now grown into a very popular tourist attraction on 25 acres with wetlands, bushland and more than 30 animal enclosures.

You can wander around the park and feed some of the animals and listen to a range of keeper talks. You can also book in for a range of animal experiences.
We take tours to visit the Park on the way to see Phillip Island Penguins and combining the two makes it an amazing day of wildlife experiences. We usually include a koala and dingo experience on our tours.
The koala experience is probably the most popular
The dingo experience is also great fun
The Park has a wide range of Australian animals including our favourite the Tasmanian Devil.
The Park has a cafe and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can also book a night tour, sponsor an animal or be a keeper for a day.
