Activity itinerary

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
  • 3h

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary opened in 1927 as a safe refuge for sick, injured, and oprhaned koalas, at a time when the species was being culled for the fur trade. Founder, Claude Reid, recognised something had to be done to help protect one of Australia's most iconic species. Today, Lone Pine remains as a destination not only see native Australian animals, but to also connect and learn, and to leave feeling inspired to make small, positive changes in your daily lives to help protect native wildlife and habitats. Along with koalas and kangaroos, Lone Pine hosts a sheepdog show where you see the hardworking dogs round up a herd of sheep, responding to their master’s whistles, calls and hand signals. You can see owls, kites and sea eagles soar above you at the Birds of Prey show, or marvel at the colourful feathers of the wild lorikeets that fly in twice daily for feedings. Other bird species and a population of Eastern Water Dragons, a lizard that grows up to 3 feet (90cm) long, also like to visit Lone Pine’s lush natural parkland.

Great cruise up the river to the Sanctuary. It was excellent up there. Make sure you prebook the koala experience if you want to hold one. It's extra. Great trip and great day out.

The river cruise to the sanctuary was very enjoyable with informative commentary and captain. The stay at the sanctuary was just about enough time for us although if you wanted to do everything on offer the cruise is not the way to get there

Holding a Koala, petting kangaroos Excellent raptor show. Food choices limited for those who do not eat meat. Gift shop very limited. Important to know that mobility impaired people should probably come a different way, since the boat dock requires walking up a steep flight of stairs at least 25 steps as well as a steep path.
