Charleville Bilby Experience

King St, Charleville, QLD

The Charleville Bilby Experience offers visitors a unique opportunity to encounter one of Australia’s most fascinating endangered animals, the greater bilby. The guided tour takes place inside a specially designed nocturnal house where the day-night cycle is reversed, allowing guests to observe bilbies during their most active hours. Visitors can watch these shy and playful marsupials dig, explore, and interact in a rare up-close experience.

Throughout the tour, passionate keepers share insights into bilby behaviour, biology, and the conservation challenges faced by the species in the wild. Guests also learn about the important work of Save the Bilby Fund, including a successful breeding program that has welcomed more than 50 bilby joeys in recent years and supports reintroductions into protected habitats across Australia.

Every visit contributes directly to bilby conservation and the protection of Australia’s fragile outback ecosystems. A range of bilby-themed souvenirs is also available in the gift shop, with proceeds supporting ongoing conservation efforts.

Bookings are essential for the daily shows. The Charleville Bilby Experience provides a memorable and meaningful wildlife encounter while helping secure a future for this iconic Australian species.
