How Australia's Tourism Industry Is Recovering a Year After the Devastating Bushfires

"At the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital on the Mid North Coast, seventy-nine koalas from the fires were treated while volunteers worked around the clock, and a crowdfunding campaign that raised A$7.9 million has enabled the hospital to return most of those koalas to the wild, build 140 wildlife drinking stations distributed across NSW and other states, and fast-track a world-first wild koala breeding program that will be open to the public when completed." - Sarah Reid Sarah Reid Sarah Reid is a multi-award-winning Australian travel writer, editor, author, and sustainable travel expert with a passion for positive impact travel.

The Koala Hospital is currently operating from Guulabaa on Burrawan Forest Drive while they redevelop the site in town. It is such a great facility and so wonderful to see the koalas up in their trees. Great picnic spot outside.

Such a wonderful experience! The family enjoyed it. Good to see we have hospitals for these beautiful animals. They even have a store with cute items to buy. They also have a heritage onsite with cafe with memorabilia. Highly recommended!

I recommend going early when the koalas are still active and having their mealtime. It was heartwarming to see how the unwell or injured koalas were cared for. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the volunteers were doing an amazing job. During our visit, there were four joeys, and it was wonderful to see them all. Evans, an injured koala on a special diet, was a delight to watch as he enjoyed his meal. The educational section was also excellent, providing interesting koala facts and valuable knowledge.

Good initiative! There really wasn’t that much to do here though for those who have seen koalas before and been to other conservation parks. There were 5 koalas to see and a sign of how they were found. All up 10 min visit.

What a wonderful place for rescued Koalas. When you visit in the morning when the Koalas get food they are awake. Since September 2024 the hospital needs to charge an entry fee because people weren’t donating enough. An adult pays 12,50$ to treat the sick Koalas. We loved the visit and only met very kind volunteers.

An amazing experience! We gained fascinating insights into the organization’s work at the Koala Hospital. The dedicated volunteers were incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. We were lucky to spot a few koalas, but it’s clear that the focus here is not on showcasing the animals for tourism but on their protection and care—huge respect for that! The hospital will be closing soon, but there is a koala breeding center on the other side of the city, run by the same organization. We were encouraged to visit for more valuable insights. I highly recommend a visit—thank you for your incredible work, and keep it up!

We visited the hospital with the family on a thursday morning. The best option is to go early, as they get food in between 8.30 and 9.00. They also get food in the evening. We didn’t book a tour guide but Maz was around and gave alot of information. We could ask all and any questions about the koalas and their way of life. It’s great to support the hospital as they so take care of them with care. Would recommend a visit!

Spent an hour and a half learning about the koalas and the amazing work done at the hospital. Watched a baby koala climb down a tree, so cute, and saw a few captive koalas munching away on eucalyptus or snoozing comfortably on their branches. There are lots of complaints about the $12.50 fee to enter, I feel it's well worth it and a good cause too. Sue was also lovely, answering any questions we had and pointing things out to us that we may have missed, thanks Sue!
