Koala Gardens is located in Tuckurimba on a private property.

Koalas are truly remarkable creatures. They lead rich and complex lives in the wild. Koala Gardens is passionate about helping people appreciate these iconic Australian animals and the environment they call home.

While it's common to see them in wildlife parks or zoos, spotting a koala in its natural habitat is an immersive and rewarding experience.

In the wild, koalas display a range of natural behaviours—climbing, feeding, grooming, and of course sleeping. You might witness a mother with her joey, or see a male marking his territory. These moments are unscripted and unpredictable, providing genuine insight into the lives of these marsupials.

Seeing koalas in their natural home fosters a deeper understanding of the challenges they face: habitat loss, disease, and climate change. It cultivates respect for their environment and underscores the importance of conservation efforts.

Wild encounters personalise the impact of conservation.

You are immersed in this experience while being guided by Katrina. She can answer all your koala questions and tell you the personal stories of each koala you see. This is a truly unique Australian experience that you will take home in your hearts to keep forever.

Due to the demands of managing the land and holding down a day job, all visits must be arranged in advance.
