Burribi Education Centre

Byron Bay & Northern NSW


This small volunteer-run centre takes in sick, injured and orphaned koalas from the surrounding area and does its best to rehabilitate them and release them into koala-friendly pockets of land. It's only open to visitors for tours, during which you can learn about these interesting marsupials then meet them.
