Return to Victor Harbor
Urimbirra gives you the chance to see more than 70 species of Australian fauna in their natural surroundings.
You may find kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, emus, dingos and wombats resting amid giant old gum trees. And on the lake, pelicans, spoonbills, black swans, egrets and Cape Barren geese may be readily seen.
The paths through Urimbirra allow you to see the animals at close range and a leisurely walk through the 16-hectare site is a photographer's delight. Both freshwater and saltwater crocodiles are displayed.
A fascinating feature of the park is the Nocturnal House, which gives you a rare opportunity to see some of Australia's interesting night creatures at feed and play.
Located just five kilometres from Victor Harbor on the main Adelaide Road, Urimbirra is an Aboriginal word meaning 'to preserve' or 'to take care of'. The site has evidence of canoe and shield trees of Aboriginal tribal activity many hundreds of years ago.
