Melbourne WINE, WILDLIFE & WOOL Tour – Animal Sanctuary Section

Welcome to Down Under True Blue Tours  dedicated to WINE, WILDLIFE & WOOL Tours of the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria.

The Bellarine Peninsular wine region is an hours journey from Melbourne along the divided freeway known as the Princes Highway to Geelong, a major city on Corio Bay.

Less than an hour from Melbourne on the way to the Bellarine, we call in to get up close to Australian native wildlife including Kangaroos, Emus and more.

See Kangaroos less than an hour from Melbourne on our Winery Tour

As you can see the Kangaroos are tame and this one looked inquisitively from only yards away.

He soon got bored though and hopped off in the direction of his mates.

The Emu’s were not a bit interested in posing for a picture.

The Geese were a lot more accommodating, with much flying around and squawking at each other and competing to see who gets in the picture first.

These two were more shy than the others. The joey was still young and not keen to meet and greet any onlookers. This was just in the first enclosure a short walk from the Coach Parking area and there is much more to see in the bird aviaries and around the lakeside nesting areas with over 150 species.
