Public spotlight tour

Experience Mt Rothwell come alive after dark on our monthly public spotlight tour. Wander the woodlands with up to 25 guests, guided by our passionate experts, and spot threatened and endangered species, eastern barred bandicoots, rufous bettongs, brush-tailed rock-wallabies, and sometimes even eastern quolls, thriving across the sanctuary. Watch the sanctuary’s wildlife perched on the granite outcrops, illuminated by the glow of the night sky, for a truly unforgettable experience suitable for all ages.

The tour begins at sunset and is suitable for most people, with only a gentle incline along the walk. On arrival, enjoy light refreshments as you meet your guide, who will share fascinating insights into the sanctuary’s wildlife, ecology, and conservation efforts. Please dress for the weather, bringing warm clothing and sturdy shoes if it’s cool or wet, as the tour goes ahead even in light rain.

Group sizes are capped to ensure everyone enjoys a personal and immersive experience. The tour takes approximately 1.5–2 hours, depending on the wildlife you encounter.
