Don’t miss a wildlife festival that will have the whole family jumping for joy.
The Sun Bear Children’s Festival will be held at Anglesea Shark Park on October 14.
The festival offers the perfect weekend getaway for the whole family, with a host of nature-inspired activities in a beautiful setting.
Jump in a sack and enter the ‘Jump for Joy’ race or sew a joey pouch to help an orphaned animal.
Plant your own native tree, clean-up the Anglesea River, learn about waste management and earn ‘eco-coins’.
Get involved in the Koala Spoon Contest, Hooded Plover Egg Run and Sustainability Game.
Build a solar-powered boat, learn about the Orange-bellied Parrot, Rufous Bristlebird and wildlife rescue.
There’s also the opportunity to explore the beach, dunes and bush critters alongside some experts.
A special Indigenous Twilight Ceremony will take place on the eve of the festival (13 October) to celebrate the festival’s fifth anniversary and to foster a deeper spiritual connection to Mother Earth and all the elements. This will be followed by spotlighting and stargazing.
