Get off the highway and take the rural route when out and about around Warrnambool. The wildlife of the Western District is, in fact, wild.



Not confined to local reserves such as Tower Hill or the Cudgee Creek Park , where interaction with animals is assured and therefore is slightly less exciting, visitors and locals alike can spot all sorts of bush critters around the back roads of the city.



The tree-lined lanes around the country townships such as Koroit, Panmure, Allansford, Garvoc and Laang are brimming with our native fauna, and can be found with ease – if one cares to look.



Kangaroos are particularly prolific in the area at the moment, with large mobs frequently seen bounding through paddocks and over barbed wire fences, and even across some of the quieter dirt tracks.



Look up and you'll usually spy some our most remarkable native birds, including kookaburras and blue wrens, or a koala making its home among the gum trees. Keep an eye out on the side of the road too, and you may see an echidna burrowing its way back into the bush.



At the very least, taking the scenic route will enable you to see some of the less wild animal life of the district, such as the cattle and sheep that are integral to local industry.
