Moonlit Sanctuary ToursA Very Unique Family Experience.The Moonlit Sanctuary Tours conservation park was to turn out to be an adventure that was to open up a whole new world for my granddaughter and myself.
My little granddaughter and I started off on one of our many Family Adventures...something that we often do together to help cement great and wonderful memories. I love being a big kid, comes naturally as I really don't think I have ever grown up --(Don't want to either, I'm having too much fun).
This time we found a great family travel destination at the tip of the Mornington Peninsular.....The Conservation Park offers specialty Moonlit Sanctuary Tours for the whole family The Moonlit Sanctuary is only 50 minutes from Melbourne via the Monash Freeway, M1 and The Westernport Hwy A780 Moonlit Sanctuary Tours are held at dusk where you can enjoy a guided night trek around the bush area searching out Nocturnal Wildlife including some of Australia's endangered species. The conservation park is also open during the day.

"Hello" said the resident sulphur crested Cockatoo as we walked past...."This place is so friendly" I said , "Even the birds say hello!" Out on our trek we came across lots of kangaroos, big ones, small ones and some with little baby joeys in their pouches. Ever so friendly and my granddaughter was so thrilled to be able to stroke them.
The Koala sat in the fork of the tree just out of reach, sitting there with this dazed look in his eyes....something he ate?
The Dingos were being taken for "Walkies" so we were able to accompany them...Wow, walking with real live Dingos, I could hardly believe it.
Ever been close up and personal with a Kookaburra? We were only a few centimeters away from this beautiful bird.
What about look an Emu in the eye? We did....they have such a fierce stare!
What an amazing place the Moonlit Sanctuary turned out to be. We learnt so much, got close up and personal with some amazing wildlife. We will be back again very soon...we just have to do the Moonlit Sanctuary tours specialty, the Night Tour. Watch out for this report, it's going to be so exciting.
