    Billabong Sanctuary in Townsville, Australia, offers visitors an authentic wildlife experience. The sanctuary provides opportunities to interact with and learn about native Australian animals in a natural setting. Visitors appreciate the variety of animals, including koalas, kangaroos, crocodiles, and various bird species.
