WINE & WILDLIFE
You may notice the Tasmanian Devil is the hero species of our upcoming Wine
& Wildlife event taking place over the Queen's Birthday long weekend in June.
The event combines delicious food and wine from our friends in the Yarra Valley
alongside the stunning backdrop of Healesville Sanctuary.
"Giving Wine & Wildlife ticketholders the opportunity to learn about this precious
species and the work we're doing to protect them is a great opportunity and I'm
thrilled the Tasmanian Devil has been chosen," says Dr Parrott.
