30 Years on the Hill! ✨

This morning we celebrated 30 years of Ploddy the Dinosaur and the Australian Reptile Park being in Somersby! It was a fantastic morning, thank you everyone for coming out including the lucky winners from our competition! 🎉

Kinda chic to be helping save our own species ✨

The turtle that survived our tragic fires in 2000 💕

Miss Piggy was one of only a few animals that survived the terrible fire at the park over 25 years ago. She stayed cool enough in her water to survive until rescuers saved her just in time.

Pig Nosed Turtles can live for up to 50 years in captivity and Miss Piggy still has many years left! She brings such a peaceful vibe in her tank in Frog Hollow ✨

Wait for the SQUIRT! 🐍

It might not look like much venom, but this is a big yield for a Tiger Snake, definitely more than enough to ruin your day 😎

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! 💪
