Nourishing plant based food to connect with country and community.
Over 20 Years of serving the community… there’s been some changes!
We’ve been open for 20 years and over that time there has been various iterations of Secret Creek Cafe and Restaurant. We are so grateful for the local community and loyal guests from the wider regional area who have always been so supportive of our offerings.
We’re so pleased to be now returning to our original vision of providing a space for guests of the sanctuary to meet with loved ones and be nourished in between enjoying their visit with the native endangered animals. The style of service will be fast, quick and easy kiosk style. A casual, family friendly environment.
We’ll change our offerings frequently but some of the things you might find are;
fresh sandwiches and wraps
seasonal salads
pies, sausage rolls, tarts, pastries and other savoury bakes
cakes, brownies, cookies and other sweeties!
a selection of cold drinks, tea and coffee
local products to take home
You can now drop in any time we are open, you don’t need to book!
You will now need to be an annual member if you want to come in without paying entry fee to the sanctuary. But the perks and extras you get are very much worth the extra support you’re giving us!
What else is NEW?
Bundy’s Reading Den
A community library space for both kids and adults where you can chill out and read books. If you’re an annual member you can also borrow books for free too! There will be story readings for kids and a Eco-Socialist book club for grown ups. We’d also love to host other book clubs and author talks. Get in touch if you want to collab!
PS Bundy is the white Alpine dingo in the incredible photograph (taken by Liam Foster) in our library space, he won’t be there! Unfortunately he passed away a couple of years ago, but we named the space in tribute. He always seemed very wise and thoughtful.
Special Events
We will be planning some special events going forward. We would love to hear from our community about what types of gatherings you would like to participate in! We plan to work together more often with our precinct partners, One Mob and AEFI, to bring you events that are focussed more on wholistically celebrating and preserving culture, country and our unique native species.
