Parks & Nature

Cuddle a koala and feed a kangaroo, this place is the best Australia could offer to get up close and personal with Australian wildlife. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary opened in 1927 as a safe refuge for sick, injured, and oprhaned koalas, at a time when the species was being culled for the fur trade. Founder, Claude Reid, recognised something had to be done to help protect one of Australia's most iconic species. Today, Lone Pine remains as a destination for local and international guests to not only see native Australian animals, but to also connect and learn, and to leave feeling inspired to make small, positive changes in their daily lives to help protect their own native wildlife and habitats

Sightseeing

A beach in the middle of the city? Yes, that's not all Southbank has to offer! Great play areas for children, close to GOMA and the Museum this is a day trip you can't miss. The weekends bring markets to the main street and don't forget to have a ride on the Wheel of Brisbane.
