We sat down with our co-owner Robyn Weigel to talk all about how the park used to be 💕 Robyn has worked at the Australian Reptile Park since she was 16 years old, she founded our funnel web antivenom program in the 1960's and has made a profound impact on the park you know and love today. Robyn still works in our team behind the scenes and is an absolute legend! 💪 #australianreptilepark #lovecentralcoast #ploddythedinosaur

Bucky is so big now!! 😮 This week we visited Cedar Creek Wombat Rescue to see how our hand raised wombat Bucky was doing. After 1 year at the rescue he is also ready to be re-released back into the wild thanks to the amazing soft release program ran by Roz & Kev at @wombatrescue ✨ #wombat #wombatwednesday #australianreptilepark
Do you have picture with Ploddy? Send it to us! 📸 We’re looking for every photos of Ploddy the Dinosaur out there to help celebrate her 30th anniversary being on the hill. She was an ICON back in Wyoming, so send us your pics and you could be featured in the park. #ploddythedinosaur
The hardest BITE on the planet 🐊 Saltwater crocodiles have the strongest bite ever of any animal with a crushing force around 1.6 tonnes. Elvis here could pop Brandon’s head like a watermelon in the blink of an eye... 🍉 #saltwatercrocodile #crocodile #elvisthecrocodile #australianrepitlepark
