"Opened in 1927 as a refuge for orphaned, sick, and injured koalas, the sanctuary offers guided tours where visitors can learn about koalas from an experienced guide, interact with a koala while it relaxes on a tree, tour a wildlife hospital, and encounter other wildlife; children can even hand-feed kangaroos, wallabies, and emus." - Alison Fox Alison Fox Alison Fox is a Travel + Leisure contributor.
