    It was a great experience. Enjoyed the history of sites along the river by Captain Rory. The sanctuary was so calming and peaceful. We were able to pet a koala and feed the kangaroos. The River Cruise crew Hayden and Liam were terrific as well. They were kind and helpful and Hayden makes a mean sausage roll....delicious!

    Up close viewing of many koalas and walk among the kangaroos across several fields. Several other animals and shows to enjoy. Plenty of time to experience the entire sanctuary.

    Really enjoyed both the the cruise and santuary! In the onward journey, the steward narrated about the history of various spots in Brisbane! The views are scenic and beautiful! Lone pine sanctuary was really cool too! We were able to pet and feed the kangaroos. The falcon show was really good! Do not miss that one!
