DAILY SHOW TIMES | 10:30am, 12:30pm & 2:30pm
Step into the wild at the Mackay Outdoor Adventure plus Home
& Lifestyle Expo with the exciting Hands On Wildlife Show, a live
experience that puts you up close with some of Australia’s most incredible
native animals. Perfect for all ages, these interactive sessions combine
education, entertainment and real life encounters that leave a lasting
impression.
The show is led by Ranger Dan, who brings energy, knowledge
and a deep respect for wildlife to every demonstration. Audiences will come
face to face with a range of iconic Australian reptiles, including some of the
country’s most well known and highly venomous snakes such as taipans, brown
snakes and death adders. Through engaging commentary, Ranger Dan explains how
these animals behave, where they are commonly found and what to do if you come
across them in the wild.
It is not all about the dangerous species either. The show
also features opportunities to meet some of the more approachable animals, with
chances to see, touch and even hold creatures like pythons, lizards and young
crocodiles while learning about their role in the environment.
Beyond the thrills, there is a strong focus on safety and
awareness, helping younger and older visitors alike to better understand how to
explore the outdoors with confidence. You will gain practical advice that could
make all the difference when travelling, camping or adventuring in regional
areas.
With three shows running each day at 10:30am, 12:30pm and 2:30pm,
there are plenty of chances to catch the action. Engaging, informative and full
of memorable moments, the Hands On Wildlife Show is a must see attraction for
families, animal lovers and anyone curious about Australia’s unique wildlife.
