Step into the wild at the Rockhampton 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.
