Discover Australia's wild and wonderful treasures

Wombat Discovery Tours is an independent family owned and run business, specialising in interactive wildlife/eco tours and farm tours and farm stays in the Trentham and Daylesford.

The dedicated and experienced Wombat Discovery Tours team will take you on an amazing adventure into the Australian bush.

Choose from two unforgettable evening experiences:

The Nocturnal Tour will take you to Wombat State Forest, where you will search for wild native animals, including wombats, kangaroos, wallabies and possums. As part of the experience, you can enjoy some star gazing on a clear night, as well as fun facts and entertaining commentary.

This 2 or 3 hour experience (dependent on the season) will begin with pick-up at your accommodation in the Trentham/Daylesford area at around 7.30pm/8.30pm on Saturday nights and conclude at 10pm/10.30pm. The price is $35 for adults and $20 for children.

If you are unavailable on Saturday evenings, custom/private tours on different nights are available on request. If you would like to visit a specific area or attraction, speak to the friendly team - they will be happy to create an itinerary that meets your needs.

The 4x4 bus can seat up to 11 passengers, making it ideal for families and small groups.

The tours and 4x4 bus are both fully insured and registered with Vicroads, The Taxi Services Commission and The Dept of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

In addition, Wombat Discovery Tours also offers Farm Tours and Farm Stay Accommodation at Evans Family Farm in Trentham.
