Secret Life of Reptiles: A Close Encounter with Native Wildlife

Step into the wild and discover the fascinating lives of Western Australia’s reptiles in this engaging school holiday program!

Join us in partnership with WA Wildlife for an exciting session at The Wetlands Centre. Learn about the native reptiles that call Bibra Lake home, their unique adaptations, and how we can play a role in their protection. This interactive event includes hands-on encounters with some of WA Wildlife’s amazing resident reptiles, including Tom the turtle, who is sure to steal the show.
