Lonely Planet review for Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
Situated 11km southwest of the city centre, Lone Pine was established in 1927 as the world’s first koala sanctuary with just two koalas; these days there are 130 and it’s still the world’s largest sanctuary of its kind. You can hand-feed kangaroos and emus or get an up-close look at wombats, Tasmanian devils and other native animals. If you pack your lunch there are numerous picnic and barbecue areas on the beautiful 20-hectare riverside setting.
