Meet a Wombat: Gundy the Blind Wombat – A Living Aussie Legend

Meet Gundy: The Sanctuary’s Unforgettable Wombat

Gundy the wombat is no ordinary marsupial. This tough yet endearing little guy has captured the hearts of visitors at Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary, where my good friends work tirelessly to care for Australia’s amazing wildlife. If you’ve ever wanted to meet a wombat, Gundy’s story of resilience and charm makes him a must-see and one of the park’s most treasured residents. Despite being blind, Gundy navigates his world with a nose for adventure, a love for scratches, and a personality that’s impossible not to adore.

Blind but Brave: Gundy’s Unique Journey

While Gundy may have lost his sight, he hasn’t lost his ability to connect. Spending time with him is like meeting a living symbol of Australia’s wild spirit—unique, resilient, and unforgettable.

As part of my tours, we’ll visit Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can see Australia’s incredible native animals, from koalas and kangaroos to emus and dingoes. And for those looking to add something extra special, you’ll have the option to meet Gundy up close.

Encounter Magic: Wombat Experiences on Tour

The wombat encounter is an additional experience offered at Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary, giving you the chance to interact with this extraordinary creature while supporting his care. It’s a rare opportunity to learn more about wombats - like how they dig intricate burrows, use their tough backsides as defence, and yes, produce cube-shaped poop!

Whether you choose the wombat encounter or stick to our close-up moments with koalas and kangaroos, this stop on the tour is guaranteed to be a highlight of your Australian adventure.
