Description

Officially recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is the world's first and largest koala sanctuary, with 80 years of

experience and over 130 koalas.

Unwind with an organic coffee in the ""Koala Forest"" surrounded by 40 koalas! Watch the antics of cute female koalas like Crumpet and Bertha, and dine in the spacious covered courtyard, or just enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and free WiFi internet. Photos opportunities are available all day, so make sure you get up close and personal with one of their cuddle trained koalas.

Lone Pine offers various activities and presentations on Australian wildlife. Enjoy the Australian outback farm experience with the sheep dog and sheep shearing shows, watch the dogs work their sheep mustering skills and then see the sheep have their wool shaved off, three times daily. Performed by experienced award-winning sheep dog handlers and their loyal dogs, this is a must see show!

Watch the amazing eagles soar high at the bird of prey free flight show. Then see their latest addition, the platypus swimming around in his new AUD1 million home! Plenty of free parking and free barbecue facilities available.
