Was a good experience getting really up close with the Koala’s but you can’t touch them. Zoo Guide shared many interesting facts about Koalas and also it was an informative session.
It was wonderful to be able to stand so close to the koala. The Guide was very informative and it we learnt a lot about this unique animal.
