In Western Australia, it is allowed to hold a koala in the hands, but the Kouna Koala Park, located in the bush thickets - the only place where you can actually do it. And here you can feed kangaroos and wallabies, meet wombats and dingoes, go into aviary with local birds and see wild waterfowl on ponds.
When did the park appear?
The park and colony of koalas appeared in 1982 in Mills Park Road in Gosnells, when four specimens from South Australia were brought here. In 2005, Coon Koala Park moved to Nettleton Road in Bayford. In 2013 the number of koalas in the colony exceeded 25 individuals.
What awaits visitors to Koala Park?
The area of this wildlife sanctuary is 14 hectares. This is an interactive park - visitors can touch and feed animals that roam freely around. Here you can meet owls and emu, dingo and deer, kukabarr and talking parrots. Children will enjoy large and realistic copies of dinosaurs.
You can make a photo or video in memory in an embrace with a koala. For the shooting fee is charged, and all collected funds are sent to support the cola cola and research in the Kone Koala Park. Even if your camera was not at hand, you can buy a disposable device with a film.
