About us

The Tilligerry Habitat is a tranquil, 9 hectare Reserve bordered by a variety of parklands and the picturesque foreshore of Tanilba Bay. Its diverse flora and fauna make it an excellent place to observe and study nature. The network of scenic paths and boardwalks, over mostly flat terrain, make it accessible and enjoyable for people of all ages. Much of the area is wheelchair friendly. The Reserve includes forests, heath and wetlands and is home to a variety of fauna including; koalas, a range of birds and seven species of frogs.

 

Part of the reserve was sand mined back in the 60’s and Tilligerry Habitat Ass has restored and re vegetated the degraded land, by propagating from seed in the Nursery on site. This Nursery is also open to the public and welcomes visitors.   

The Tilligerry Habitat experience starts at the Environment Centre which is made from straw bales. It contains an Arts and Crafts Gallery, Souvenir’s, Educational displays, the Local Visitors Centre, and has space for audio/visual presentations and small functions. It has a large deck looking out across the reserve where filtered water views of the bay may be seen through the swamp mahogany forest.

Visitors can book a tour of the of the reserve with our trained guides, who will tell them about koalas, the eco systems, Worimi people, bush tucker and other flora and fauna of the Tilligerry Habitat. Self guided tours can be done at any time.

Anyone can become a member of the organisation.
