Koala Sanctuary

In my plan, I have a lot of places to visit. One of this is the Lone Pine Koala sanctuary.

For a overseas tourist like me, Lone Pine offers a great opportunity to see a selection of unique Australian native animals in one wildlife park. Most favourites are represented: kangaroos, wallabies, emus, dingoes, Tasmanian devils, snakes, bats, crocodiles, echidna, wombats and lizards.

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane is the largest koala sanctuary in the world, with over 130 koalas. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions, with memorable opportunities to cuddle a koala and hand feed kangaroos.

There are also many colourful Australian Parrots and Cockatoos, as well as other Australian birds such as Kookaburras, Emus, Cassowarys among others. Free flying Rainbow Lorikeets fly to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary for the specially prepared nectar meals at the sanctuary. Visitors can feed the lorikeets directly twice a day.

Once a day there is a bird of prey show with several kinds of raptors showing off their speed agility and keen eyesight.

The Tasmanian Devils are fed in the afternoon. 'Koala Forest' is a large koala enclosure with over 30 koalas surrounding the customers. Koalas there are fed mid-morning and mid-afternoon. If you get there around then, you can see them jumping from branch to branch in their hurry to eat the best, fresh gum leaves.
