Australia’s Only Mainland Gannet Colony
A true wildlife spectacle only minutes from Portland, Victoria
Our mission is to share a fantastic wildlife experience with visitors so that they may too be inspired to conserve land for the enjoyment of wildlife for generations to come.
Even small steps lead to extraordinary journeys.
The story of Point Danger is one of conservation success, fraught with uncertainty, but driven forward by volunteers willing to make a stand.
