Discover the unique beauty of Australian wildlife with a family day out at the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary, located in the stunning region of Port Stephens, NSW. This sanctuary offers an unparalleled opportunity to see koalas in their natural habitat, supporting their long-term rehabilitation and preservation in the area.
As you explore the sanctuary, you''ll come across the Newcastle Airport SKYwalk, a 225-meter elevated pathway and viewing platform that provides a unique ''tree tops'' perspective into the koalas'' natural habitat. This is the perfect spot for a family photo opportunity and an educational experience that closes at 4pm.
The kids will love ''Kasey''s Tale,'' a story of koalas that comes to life as they explore the 250-meter Sanctuary Story Walk. Filled with large-scale sculptures and habitat information, this walk is both fun and educational.
The state-of-the-art Koala Hospital, complete with Intensive Care Unit treatment rooms and holding pens, offers a glimpse into the vital work being done to care for injured and sick koalas. Take a peek through the hospital viewing window for a chance to see veterinary staff carrying out examinations and administering treatment to koala inpatients.
When it''s time for a break, visit the Fat Possum Café, offering a range of ''grab and go'' eats, great barista coffees, and snacks for the kids in a tranquil bushland setting. The retail kiosk offers a variety of quality gifts and souvenirs to commemorate your visit.
