Visit the world’s largest koala sanctuary and discover Brisbane – ‘The City of Sun Days’. Our tour today will explore this rapidly growing city built along the winding picturesque Brisbane River. We travel through the city past the Botanical Gardens, the historic buildings of Parliament House and the Treasury Casino, before crossing the river and passing the Arts and Cultural Centre and South Bank Parklands. We can view the city skyline from Kangaroo Point cliffs, before heading out to Lone Pine, the world’s largest koala sanctuary. At Lone Pine we will have the opportunity to hand feed friendly kangaroos, take a leisurely stroll around the park to view animals such as emus, Tasmanian devils, wombats, dingoes, reptiles and many more native Australian animals. We can have our photograph taken with a koala (this is optional and at our own expense). We may also walk through 20 hectares of natural settings, meet the fun loving and dedicated sanctuary staff who hold regular animal talks, or simply relax and enjoy a break in the picnic grounds on the banks of the Brisbane River.

Please note that on certain occasions, for the safety and medical protection of the animals, it may not be possible to pet the animals or cuddle a koala. It is recommended that passengers wear comfortable walking shoes and sun protection. There are a few steps to negotiate, however ramped access is available. It may be possible to have your photograph taken with a koala for AUD $15.00 (price correct at the time of printing).
