Bonorong is a Sanctuary for wildlife run by a passionate team of like-minded people. We're a social enterprise: a little business with a big heart.
Just 30 minutes north of Hobart's CBD, we are home to many animals, including wombats, koalas, Tasmanian devils, birds, quolls and more. We also have free-roaming kangaroos who are always keen for a good scratch on the chest and some gentle hand feeding (roo food included with entry).
 
A visit to Bonorong is not complete without joining one of our daily guided tours. These tours are free with entry and give you the opportunity to meet some of our most popular locals: the wombats, devils and koalas. You will hear little-known facts and stories of the wildlife in our care.
Tour groups, school groups and after-school groups can all be catered for with private tours and more. We have a Food Hut onsite, making it a great stop for lunch with 100% plant-based meals.
Bonorong is easily accessible by car, with free parking onsite.

The Bagdad Public Golf Course is a nine-hole country course north of Hobart. Bagdad is a small rural community, 30 minutes' drive from Hobart's city centre (40 kilometres/25 miles). The Bagdad Public Golf Course has a peaceful, rural atmosphere and features watered, grass greens with the longest hole measuring 1,718 metres (5,636 feet). You can try you luck in the annual Bagdad Open golf tournament which is played here each spring (September/October). The Tasmanian town of Bagdad was named from the classic literary work 'Arabian Nights' by explorer Hugh Germain. The well-educated Germain named several Tasmanian locations from this book and from the Bible, both of which he carried with him wherever he went. Lake Tiberius and the township of Jericho are two such locations, just north of Bagdad.

Winstead Vineyard at Bagdad in Tasmania's south produces award-winning wines - rieslings and pinot noir. This 1.2 hectare vineyard is carefully hand-tended, and produces long lived rieslings and exciting pinot noir. Winstead has produced some great wine but unfortunately suffers from the problem of wine shortage. Their gold-medal 1994 pinot noir was a cracker of a wine. Their wines just seem to get better every year and continue to be medal winners. The vineyard is open by appointment only. Mail Order is available.
