The unique Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was opened in the suburbs of Brisbane in 1927. This park is still the oldest and largest park in the world, specializing in the conservation and breeding of such wonderful animals like koalas.

Almost 5 hectares of forests is used to make beautiful bears feel as comfortable and calm as possible in the Park. After all, it is possible to increase the population only in such conditions that are close to nature.

Today, the reserve is home to 130 funny koalas. Each has a name, and each is closely monitored by doctors and volunteers. They create the necessary conditions for animals.

Besides, the park is home to more than 100 species of other Australian animals: wallabies, Tasmanian devils, wombats, echidnas, of course, kangaroos. Among the birds, it is possible to see Australian parrots, kookaburras, emus, and other birds that are characteristic of this region.

The main difference between Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and other zoos and nature reserves is that most of the animals roam freely in the park, not in their cages. So each guest can lie on the grass next to the kangaroo, feed them and take great photos, or get as close as possible to the platypus to look at this strange animal, or treat the Tasmanian devil with something delicious.

You can also hold a Koala there! Yes, the contact time of each bear cub with park guests is strictly regulated: no more than 30 minutes per day. Otherwise, it may harm the animal's health. But in the morning and the afternoon, you can see enough of them during feeding: eucalyptus bears so funny jump from tree to tree to get to the most delicious and fresh twigs that they gather a crowd of guests around them.

The park also regularly hosts performances with birds of prey that demonstrate not only their beauty but also their dexterity, agility and sharp eyesight.
