Very good, it's all about the birds, not money.
What an amazing day, thank you for allowing us to share in these magnificent birds lives by being able to adopt and fund a cockatoo thanks to our awesome tour guides Mel and Izzy!

Been a member 6 yrs now. Recent management changes has new ' pro bodybuilder' managing the joint. Rude AF and has employed even ruder female front counter staff.

Very dissapointing, so unless your a male model the female staff won't acknowledge you AT ALL.

Such a shame. This is meant to be a community gym and this kind of behaviour is juvenile and just disgusting. Grow up.
Kaarakin is a not for profit cockatoo conservation centre that does great things.
It’s definitely worth a visit & your visit helps keep this centre running
Not far from Perth in the hills
Wonderful experience and very educational. Dedicated volunteers take you on a tour and share their passion for the beautiful cockatoo's and dingo 's. Well worth the drive. Support this foundation if you can or we may lose these birds in the very near future.
I attend church in the morning on Sundays. I enjoyed a small morning tea before. I enjoyed the service and found it to be helpful, in my beliefs. and affirmation of my religious understandings.

Great place! Whoever is in charge of the gym equipment needs to replace the water cooler though.
The most useless people that do not want to help, they are driven by division, they do not want to help anyone in their community, no matter what documents you give them it is never enough, they will do anything to be dismissed from assisting someone in need
No stars for them one day to pick up vouchers organised last week they where closed 🔐.
Not happy. JAN..

All new equipment, looks great! But it is a tight fit so likely problematic when it's peak time.

I get the idea of not accepting dirty toys. I had a van full of books and clothes.. It was beginning to frustrate me by what was NOT accepted. I was helping a friend who had packed the boxes and bags.. but watching people go through things and rejecting them was rather personal.. "we accept novels".. but a whole bag of them, rejected.. I grabbed the bag, groaned, walked away.. The girl called out.. "unfair disclosure".. really..? I worked with you guys about the dirty toys, You said you accept novels but rejected a bag full..!!
I litterally went around the corner to Vinnies.. parked the van and had people help me unload and take boxes and boxes of donations inside.. Feeling great to give and help.
Your prices for "economically inferior goods" are unreasonable.. Ive bought before at inflated prices from you, still ended up with rips and tears.. I'll be happy with better prices that reflect rips and tears in secondhand goods at vinnies and smaller charities, (I can sew) did I mention a wider offering of donations to browse through..? Thankyou

Supporting salvation Army with multiple donations has me question giving my preloved belongings to smaller charities instead as i see cost of items unrealistically high. Comparing prices i can buy from Kmart orTarget easily for similar prices . From Budgewoi PJ pants without top 15.oo....Dissappointing.
Chris and Alan were my tour guides. I got my first kiss with a dingo here (see photos) and a great cuddle session with an emu bird. I really love these animals, they don't look like they've been from the wild at all! So safe to touch, and they also love you back. Also, this place is far away from my home maybe like 1-2 hours away. It was great that Alan gave me a lift to the train station when my Uber ride cancelled on me. Be prepared to bring physical money - card or cash. The problem is there is not much signal so you can't pay with your phone. This place is worth going to! 5/5 for the hospitality and tamed animals.
They help others with there heart and soul. They don't discriminate any faith or gender .full respect and love ❤ to the salvation army

I’m currently enrolled on the driving volunteer training course: Braking the Cycle, and they can’t be more wonderful. Sarah and her team are all so helpful and efficient, so much so that they’ve helped me regain my confidence after a car crash PTSD after only 8 sessions. I’m forever grateful and in debt with these guys
A wonderful place where black cockatoos and other bird life are rehabilitated or are permanent residents (as they can't go back to the wild). Also roos including a big red, emu and 3 dingos. The staff and volunteers are great and Brad was so interesting to listen to

I will forever and ever be grateful to this place, no one welcomed me and my family with an open heart and arms like Salvation army did. And still do, for me and for anyone in need. Thank you

I want to give a special shout out to my provider Lisa who has helped me get back into the workforce after being very out of touch post covid amongst other personal challenges.

This gorgeous lady is patient, hard working and has gone out of her way to help me multiple times purely out of her good heart not because it was a part of her Job.

True credit to your Team, I highly recommend you promote her or give her a raise because we need more people working in human resources with her nature and approach.

Thanks for everything Lisa, you're a gem and I'm very grateful xxx

If you are serious about finding a job, support or just information about services give them a go, they have always treated me with respect and understanding towards my mental health illness.

There are other shops at level 1/ 426 Church Street. Please update your address to correctly guide your customers to your shop instead of people keep walking into other shops at Level 1 to consult your correct location, and ask for parking resolution related to your business.
I loved every second of my time at KaarakinBlack Cockatoo Conservation Centre!!
Brought my Mum for a tour and our hearts were filled with joy seeing the awesome work that The Kaarakin volunteers do for these amazing endangered birds.
Our guide was so knowledgeable about everything to do with the 3 x Black Cockatoo species and the info that he gave us was spot on.
As well as the Black cockatoos it was wonderful seeing the dingos, emus, kangaroos, finches and other beautiful birds!!
Please donate generously to Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre. Populations of these magnificent birds are dwindling because their roosts and food sources are being cleared at a shocking rate.
They need all the protection and care they can get!!!
Great has places can go to that r haunted & investigations
This is a fantastic Toy Library.
Volunteer-run, open on Saturday mornings (and some Wednesdays) and such a great range of toys. What a fantastic community service 🙌

Just now after dropping off my children while walking to Crestwood Primary School.
A Salvation Army 2-3 tonne truck 100 metres from the school on corner of Warrina ave and Peel rd. Parked on the opposite side of the road.
With cars and school bus heading directly in front of the Salvation Army Truck.
Watched them(2 male in hi vis vest) drive out into on coming traffic!
Safety Isn’t Their Priority😡
These wonderful people help those less fortunate

An awesome public gym! The atmosphere is great! The machines are great! The place is spotlessly clean! All of the above mentioned characteristics are complemented by modern flat screen TVs! There's also a tremendously professional indoor basketball court to enjoy!
It has 24 hour access! The staff (on duty during business hours) are exceptionally efficient, industrious, courteous & amicable! What's more, the price is most affordable! Become a member 🏋️

The best Mothers Day gift ever ! My Son surprised me with a visit to Karrakin to see the Black Cockatoos Dingos and

Kangaroos for mothers Day what a wonderful educational experience ! afternoon tea from the volunteer staff was great too ! Thankyou so much Matthew loved my Day out with you my son. An enormous thank you to all the wonderful dedicated volunteer staff members who provide such a wonderful opportunity for the public great work well done ! 💚🌳🐣🌳💚
Not really a fan of this place. Although they do community work, they also brag about it as if they are doing it with their own money. People donate to the Salvos to help out other people, not to pay high end wages to a bunch of self professed "saints". A bit of humility and a lot less ego would go a long way.
The show on 2bacr was very good
