Inside the tropical flight aviary, butterflies cross the path at eye level and settle among plants, making their colours and movement easier to appreciate than in the forest. The sanctuary’s life-cycle displays add a closer view of how these insects develop. Its intimate scale gives Kuranda a wildlife experience centred on observation rather than spectacle.
What to look for
Butterflies fly freely through the walk-through aviary.
Life-cycle displays explain how the butterflies develop.
