Koalas are a threatened species in south-east Queensland. The
Daisy Hill Koala Centre, situated in the midst of a conservation park, is a great way to see them in their natural habitat and learn about how to protect them.
The Daisy Hill Koala Centre also cares for local koalas that have been injured by dogs or cars. Many people don't realise how vulnerable koalas in our region actually are and that their numbers are declining as development increases.
The centre highlights the importance of protecting koalas and has free interactive displays where you can find lots of information about how and where they live. If you still want to know more, you can talk with a ranger, or take part in a guided
Connect With Nature activity.
The
Daisy Hill Conservation Park also features five walks through open woodland ranging from an easy 400m stroll to a 9km circuit, which includes the neighbouring Neville Lawrie Reserve.
Along the way you can look for koalas as well as possums, wallabies and a host of birds and reptiles. Mountain biking and horse riding are also permitted on some trails.
You can even enjoy a picnic while you're there. Picnic facilities are located in two open grassy areas and have wood BBQs, tables and toilets.
