They don't like their ears touched.

This is a lovely place to visit, but be aware that it is a little out of the way from Brisbane, itself. While it is named for its extraordinary number of koalas, I actually found the free-ranging kangaroo exhibit to be more enjoyable. You have...More

This is a very well kept and clean sanctuary which does a good job at conservation. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. My only disappointment was seeing birds and flying foxes in cages. It is a personal opinion only but I feel that they should be free...More

Beautiful koalas and well run place

This is a great place to go when friends visit and it's open during the Christmas season. You can get quite close to the koalas and can even hold one, provided the koala agrees. They are cuddly and wonderful and smell pleasantly like cough drops....More

We arrive in Brisbane on the Sea Princess on Friday, oct 26, at 7:00 AM, docking at the grain terminal. We have a Viator express boat tour boarding at the South Pontoon at 11:00. We return to the South Pontoon about 2:30 and need to be at the grain terminal to board the Sea Princess at 4:00. Any suggestions on how best to get to and from the grain terminal and the south Pontoon would be appreciated.
