What it is

The sanctuary was started by the beekeeper Alex Griffiths, who began feeding the wild rainbow lorikeets that came to his flowers; he later handed the park to the National Trust. Today it shows koalas, kangaroos, cassowaries, crocodiles and many native birds in bushland and rainforest settings, and the lorikeet feeding is still part of the day.

The Currumbin Wildlife Hospital on site treats injured and orphaned native animals from the region.
