FAQs

How much walking is there?

Our standard tours are about 1km in distance on unsealed tracks. However Michael will adjust the distance covered based on the ability of your group. Please let us know if walking long distances is difficult for you.

What do I need to bring?

Please dress appropriately for the weather (eg. appropriate footwear - no thongs or heels).

What happens if it rains?

Wildflowers don't mind a little bit of rain, so the event will go ahead even if light showers are expected. We may cancel in the event of extreme weather conditions (eg. high winds or heavy rainfall); but we will contact you directly if this occurs.

How can I get in touch with any questions?

If you have any questions, please contact us on (03) 9479 1206 or wildlife@latrobe.edu.au

Nangak Tamboree Wildlife Sanctuary

Nangak Tamboree (nan-nyack tam-bor-ee) means respecting, sharing and looking after the waterway in Woiwurrung language of the Wurundjeri people.

The Nangak Tamboree Wildlife Sanctuary was created in 1967 as a project in the restoration and management of indigenous flora and fauna. It has now evolved to now be a high biodiversity node within the Nangak Tamboree Eco-Corridor. This eco-corridor connects the Sanctuary from the Gresswell Habitat Link and Gresswell Forest to our north, through the La Trobe University Bundoora campus to Darebin Creek in the south.

This regenerated bushland environment is used for conservation, education and research activities that support the learning and teaching objectives of La Trobe University and it's surrounding schools. We also provide an array of community events and volunteering opportunities for those interested in the conservation of indigenous flora and fauna at the Wildlife Sanctuary.
