Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary at Currumbin on the Gold Coast, Queensland in Australia, is world renowned for its feeding of huge flocks of free-flying wild Rainbow Lorikeets, which come to the Sanctuary to feast off the special mixture which the Lorikeets eat. The multitude of events, shows and attractions include dingo encounters, free flight bird shows and even crocodile feeding of the park’s massive saltwater crocodile. The park also contains a serious aspect of its work and exhibits, and behind the scenes includes a state-of-the-art veterinary and rehabilitation hospital where thousands of sick and injured animals are brought every day. In 2009 an adventure park course opened. As for May 2011, the hospital has appealed for donations and government support as it faces a funding shortage that may force it to turn away injured wildlife. www.cws.org.au
