Lone Pine Koalas are cute and well cared for

3.00Difficult place to find and I had to ask for directions three times. Other travelers that I met on the boat had similar experiences. The koala sanctuary was very nice and similar to one that I visited while in Sydney. Definitely worthwhile if you want to see animals that are not all caged. There were koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, and many more animals to see. Worthwhile trip that will only take part of your day.
A beautiful day out at the sanctuary by boat

5.00Nice long leisurely boat ride with pleasant commentary along the way there. Touring the sanctuary was fun! It didn’t feel like just a zoo! The animals are well cared for and easy to photograph!
Great day out
