Come face-to-face with koalas in their natural habitat along the treetop boardwalks through the Australian bushland at the Koala Conservation Reserve.

The two elevated boardwalks bring you closer to the koalas as they go about their daily business of sleeping, eating, and sleeping some more. Collect and plant a seed from their Native Seed Station to grow and create a thriving native habitat in your own backyard. Watch and listen for other native wildlife like wallabies, echidnas, and colourful native birds. For those curious about how koalas live, their visitor centre has interactive and informative displays, or find one of their rangers to ask a question.

Located just 90 minutes from Melbourne, the Koala Conservation Reserve offers fantastic koala viewing in their natural habitat.
