Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is the largest property under the banner of the National Trust of Australia (Queensland). It was gifted to the National Trust in 1976 by founder and conservationist Alex Griffiths. National Trust is a not-for-profit organisation, which relies on donations to protect, conserve, and celebrate our environmental, built, and cultural heritage. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is home to Currumbin Wildlife Hospital, which offers a free community service to treat, rehabilitate and release sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.
Quick facts:
- Bee and flower keeper Alex Griffiths opened Currumbin Bird Sanctuary in 1947 as a lorikeet feeding display, protecting his prized blooms from the birds. Today, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary still offers lorikeet feeding twice daily, an experience that is open to all members of the public.
- Currumbin Bird Sanctuary was gifted to the National Trust of Australia (Queensland) in 1976.
- Currumbin Bird Sanctuary was officially renamed Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in 1995.
- Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary participates in 15 conservation programs for threatened and endangered species.
- Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is home to Currumbin Wildlife Hospital, which last year admitted more than 14,000 wildlife animals, including almost 400 Koalas.
