Keep your eyes peeled this autumn school holidays at Taronga Western Plains Zoo because there are nine Greater Bilbies to find as part of the Peters Billabong Track-a-Bilby trail!

Kids can ‘hop’ to the challenge by tracking Greater Bilbies whilst visiting the Zoo. Now they won’t be real bilbies…that would be hard given they are nocturnal! But they are fun Bilby signs that are at different locations throughout the Zoo. When you find a bilby, write its name on the trail sheet and then keep on tracking. Find all nine bilbies and you’ll be rewarded with a free Peters Billabong at the Zoo Café on presentation of your completed trail sheet. 

Taronga Western Plains Zoo is home to a very successful conservation breeding program for the Greater Bilby behind-the-scenes at the Taronga Sanctuary. This trail provides kids with the opportunity to learn more about this iconic Australian species and how Taronga Western Plains Zoo is ensuring this species will be around for generations to come.

The Peters Billabong Track-a-Bilby trail runs from 2 April – 18 April 2021 and is open to children 15 years and under.

Be sure to pick up your Track-a-Bilby trail sheet at the Zoo’s ticketing counter and go on the quest to find all nine bilbies in the Zoo!
