Our Vision

To foster an awareness of the unique natural and cultural heritage of Australian wildlife and environment and to promote conservation of these values through being a centre of excellence in environmental education and research.

Today Wirrimbirra continues to operate as a flora & fauna sanctuary. Wirrimbirra's main focus is environmental and wildlife education.

It has over 200 acres of preserved native bushland - the unique flora of the remaining part of the area known as the 'Bargo Brush' in colonial times, but known and frequented much, much longer by the traditional Tharawal aboriginal peoples.

The Bargo Dingo Sanctuary is currently managed by the Australian Native Dog Conservation Society.  The ANDCS, an organisation with a membership of over two hundred people worldwide and a network of supporters in the academic, political and canine world was formed in October 1976 to promote a better understanding and knowledge of Australia's Native Dog, the Dingo, and its official recognition and protection as native fauna.
