Bredl’s Wildlife – Hands-On Australian Wildlife Experience
Bredl’s Wildlife offers a truly unique hands-on Australian wildlife experience set in the stunning Whitsundays and Mackay countryside. The Bredl family warmly invite you onto their 175-acre private wildlife property, nestled in natural bushland and centred around a picturesque dam.
With roots in the zoo industry dating back to 1956, the Bredl family bring decades of passion, experience and knowledge to every tour. Guests are taken on a fully guided, personal journey across the property, learning about the animals, the land and the family’s lifelong dedication to wildlife care and conservation.
Home to a diverse range of Australian native wildlife and exotic species, Bredl’s Wildlife offers unforgettable close-up encounters. Handle animals such as snakes, lizards and baby crocodiles, hand-feed kangaroos, emus and cassowaries, and enjoy a special cuddle with a beautiful koala. A highlight of the experience is witnessing the farm’s large resident saltwater crocodiles being hand fed, an awe-inspiring moment you won’t forget.
Bredl’s Wildlife operates fully guided, structured tours by booking only, ensuring a personalised, educational and memorable experience for all guests.
