This lovely peaceful sanctuary not far from the city of Brisbane is a fantastic spot to see koalas up close for free. It is located 25 km south of Brisbane in the Daisy Hill Conservation Park.

Meet the four female koalas, Aretha, Jannico, Molly and Kyra, and the male koala, Jordan, and learn about their individual stories. The education centre is interactive, with displays, activities and a documentary show (the Theatre closes earlier than the Centre) that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults.

There is plenty of information, including easy-to-read text and lots of photos, as well as play spaces for the kids and various interactivities for the whole family. Catch the keeper talks at 11 am and 2 pm to hear more about koalas and their conservation.

Don’t forget to bring along a camera to take photos of these cuties!
