Kangaroo Viewing Tour

Our ‘Kangaroo Tours’ are run almost entirely by volunteer members of Anglesea Golf Club.  You’ll experience a unique chance to see some of our resident kangaroo population of around 300 Eastern Grey Kangaroos, who live in family groups or ‘mobs’.  Kangaroos are usually most active from late afternoon until early morning, resting in the shade of trees and shrubs during the day.  Kangaroos are marsupials and grazing animals, so they love to eat grass, young shoots, heath plants and trees. Which are all in abundance on our course.

Tours started operating mid-2015 and have attracted a fast-growing interest of visitors from around the world.  As capacities grow, there has been careful planning to ensure a safe nature-based tour is offered, alongside playing golfers.

On your 25-minute guided tour, our drivers will share interesting facts while taking you to suitable areas to disembark for photos and visit favourite locations, where kangaroos graze and rest. This gives real meaning to the experience of “being up close and personal” with our Australian native icons.  If you’re lucky, you might even see a joey (baby kangaroo), peeking from its mother’s pouch!
