Easter Bilby Week at Dreamworld

Hop to it! Dreamworld Wildlife Foundation hosts Easter Bilby Week to support endangered Aussie icons

This Easter, the Dreamworld Wildlife Foundation (DWF) is turning the spotlight on one of Australia’s most precious, and most vulnerable, native animals: the Greater Bilby. Guests can join in the fun during Easter Bilby Week at the theme park, a special celebration full of family-friendly activities designed to raise awareness and funds for bilby conservation - stayed tuned for 2026 dates.

Bilbies, with their oversized ears, velvety fur and twitchy little snoots, are a national treasure — but they’re in trouble. Once found across 70% of Australia, they are now listed as endangered in Queensland and presumed extinct in New South Wales. Their decline is largely due to habitat destruction, invasive predators, and altered fire regimes. Without immediate action, this beloved Aussie battler could vanish from the wild entirely. 

Dreamworld is committed to changing that, but they need the Gold Coast’s support.  

What the Dreamworld Wildlife Foundation supports 

The Dreamworld Wildlife Foundation is a significant zoological conservation funder in Australasia. DWF supports breeding programs, habitat restoration, and education efforts — all aimed at protecting Australia’s wildlife. For the bilby, this means funding crucial work to bring their numbers back from the brink. 

DWF’s vision is to protect threatened species through direct action, public awareness, and strong partnerships, ensuring animals like the bilby remain part of Australia’s future. 

Even more reasons to visit: Dreamworld’s Street Food Festival 

As if Easter Bilby Week wasn’t enough, Dreamworld is also serving up tasty holiday vibes with its Street Food Festival throughout the school holidays! Featuring a mouth-watering lineup of global flavours, it’s another reason for Gold Coasters and visitors alike to spend a day exploring, tasting, and supporting conservation — all in one place. 

This Easter, choose chocolate that makes a difference, meet the real-life bilbies you’re helping to protect, and indulge in street eats the whole family will love. It’s a celebration of wildlife, community and Aussie spirit — only at Dreamworld.
