KANIVA PARK

Public BBQ

Kaniva Park reveals itself as an unexpected gem along the highway, where weary travellers discover a sanctuary that's part wildlife encounter, part community pride. The star attraction remains the rare albino kangaroo, a genetic marvel that draws curious visitors alongside the resident emus, deer, and raucous cockatoos who demand proper greetings. Covered BBQ areas provide respite from the elements, while clean toilet facilities and extensive parking accommodate everyone from families to caravan tourists. The playground entertains children of all ages, though it's often the wetlands boardwalk that captivates adults, offering glimpses of black swans and wallabies in their natural habitat. Local volunteers maintain this donation-supported haven with obvious care, creating a space where the painted sheep art adds whimsy to an already charming stopover. While some question the ethics of the enclosed animals, most visitors appreciate this peaceful break from long drives, finding Kaniva's blend of wildlife, facilities, and community spirit a welcome surprise in regional Victoria.
