Tickets
We offer tickets through Humanitix and the ticket price is donated to the Friends of Bonorong, which raises funds for the care of wildlife in crisis.
Bonorong Wildlife sanctuary is an ethical tourism enterprise, dedicated to the conservation of native species through wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, education and experiences that connect people and wildlife.
To date we have donated more than $7,000 to the sanctuary from ticket sales.
Please check our Instagram and Facebook pages for details of our events.
Our events
In November we have a series of events, including the very popular Peony Pick Your Own Open days, where you can pick your own peonies, bring the family and a picnic and enjoy the peony patch full of flowers.
Our PYO event has become a highlight of our season, with many happy families returning to share the experience each year.
How it works
If possible bring your own secateurs, we will sanitise them when you arrive.
You pay for each peony you pick, there is no minimum purchase ( or maximum!)
Learn how to pick a peony. Yes, there is a technique. Chose a bud that is showing some colour. Very gently, give the bud a slight squeeze. If it gives a little, similar to squeezing a marshmalow, it is ready to pick. If it is hard, leave it on the bush. Flowers may not open if the buds are picked to hard. Here is a useful video which demonstrates when to pick a peony bud.

We encourage you to wear sturdy shoes, it is a paddock after all!
Friendly dogs on a lead are welcome.
You are very welcome to bring a picnic and enjoy the peony patch for as long as you wish.
Plenty of parking in the paddock, just follow the signs.
