Everyone loves the cuteness of a koala and at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, 25 minutes from Brisbane city centre, there are more than 130 living here, so you can be guaranteed you are going to catch some of them awake!
Set on 20 hectares of undulating land along the Brisbane River, you won’t find a more relaxing way to cuddle a koala, or hand feed the kangaroos and lorikeets, away from the fast pace of other zoos.
There are lots of different shows to keep you busy throughout the day such as seeing a Tassie devil demolish a mouse in three seconds flat (bones and all) or admiring the amazing skills of Aussie sheep dogs as they respond to whistles, calls and hand signals from their masters. Hold a snake, have your picture taken with a koala, or just relax under a shady tree and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Getting there:
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is on Jesmond Rd, Fig Tree Pocket.
