Understand

Get in and around

The town is along the Princes Highway (A1), 9 km south from Batemans Bay and 16 km north of Moruya. You will need to bring a car with you as there's little public transport in this very car-centric part of NSW.

While you can use the 700-1 bus route, Mogo's attractions are outside the town centre meaning you will need a car to visit these attractions (unless you're willing to walk at least 2 kilometres on highways without footpaths).

• Mogo Wildlife Park (Mogo Zoo), 222 Tomakin Rd, -35.7952°, 150.1585°, +61 2 9622 1644, info@austwp.com.au. Daily . The town's main attraction may not be a very large zoo, but it does contain some unusually exotic species such as the red panda (only found in Nepal and Tibet), snow leopard (primarily found in Hemis National Park in Ladakh), or the black-and-white ruffed lemur (only found in pockets in Madagascar). In fact, the zoo is unusually unique among rural Australian zoos in the sense that this zoo's exclusive focus is on exotic, endangered species, not animals in general. 2022-09-17
