Koala Conservation Hospital Port Macquarie

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.
