The Daisy Hill Koala Sanctuary is within a conservation park filled with different types of eucalyptus trees. It is about 25km south west of Brisbane.
There is a bigger Koala Sanctuary near Brisbane called the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary but we didn't really want to go somewhere to hug a koala/have your photo taken with a koala - we preferred to go the Daisy Hill Koala Sanctuary where they rehabilitate injured koalas and provide a small, informative display about koala habitat, habits and threats to them such as swimming pools (that need to have a rope in them so that koalas can pull themselves out).
Not only did we see koalas, we also saw a wallaby....
And got a good close-up of a kookaburra. We actually see and hear these all the time but this was a good opportunity to get a photo. We can hear them laughing from our house and boy, are they noisy!
Here is one of the koalas doing what they do a lot of the time - sleeping.
And here is one doing what they also do a lot of the time - eating eucalyptus leaves. They are quite fussy eaters so not just and eucalyptus will do!
The kanga skin is causing some chuckles!
