What to expect
Your driver collects you from your base and heads into Melbourne's city centre. You'll walk past recognisable buildings and explore the network of laneways where local artists paint walls and independent shops cluster. The atmosphere is relaxed—no rushed ticking off boxes. After a couple of hours absorbing the city's character, you move on to Moonlit Sanctuary. Here you're on foot again, moving through open areas where wallabies and kangaroos roam freely. Staff point out details about behaviour and diet. It's closer contact than a zoo, but still respectful of the animals' space.
Good to know
Lunch isn't covered (budget $30–40 extra). Wear comfortable walking shoes for the laneways and park. The sanctuary isn't suitable if you're pregnant or have serious heart concerns. Infant seats available if needed. Public transport runs nearby if you prefer to make your own way.
