Humbug Scrub Wildlife Sanctuary Inc.

Established in 1905, Humbug Scrub Wildlife Sanctuary is South Australia's oldest private wildlife refuge, dedicated to preserving native flora and fauna. Located approximately 50 kilometers northeast of Adelaide in a natural bush setting, the sanctuary is home to free-roaming kangaroos and emus, offering visitors the opportunity to hand-feed these iconic Australian animals. The grounds also host a variety of birds, including peacocks, Cape Barren geese, black cockatoos, and swans. Educational displays in Tom's Cottage provide insights into the sanctuary's history and conservation efforts. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along scenic paths that wind through lakes and bushland, immersing themselves in the tranquil environment. Operated entirely by volunteers, the sanctuary is a registered charity, welcoming donations to support its mission. Open daily, it offers an affordable and enriching experience for all ages.
