Port Stephens sits in an important koala corridor, and while spotting them in the wild is tricky, the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary (portstephenskoalasanctuary.com.au; adult/child $28/15) near One Mile Beach guarantees sightings. Its wheelchair-accessible Skywalk provides close-up views of sick and injured koalas.
