Koala Conservation Reserve
The Koala Conservation Reserve is a wildlife sanctuary on Phillip Island where visitors can observe koalas in their natural habitat. The site features two elevated boardwalks of approximately 800 meters and 600 meters, connected to walking trails through native bushland, along with a visitor center that provides information about koala biology and conservation efforts.
The reserve was established to protect koalas facing threats from habitat loss and disease in the wild. It serves as a place to care for injured animals, provide safe recovery space, and educate visitors about the importance of conservation for the species.
The name reflects the reserve's mission to protect koalas and share their story with visitors. People come to observe these animals in a setting that feels close to nature and learn why their survival matters to the region.
The boardwalks and walking trails are designed for easy access and suit most visitors, including families with children. The site provides parking, a café called Manna Gum, accessible facilities for people with disabilities, and accepts only contactless payment, while visitors should bring sunscreen, a hat, and water.
Two elevated boardwalks allow visitors to observe koalas at close range without disturbing animals as they rest in the trees. The visitor center with interactive displays and opportunities to spot other animals like wallabies and echidnas create a complete experience of Australian bushland wildlife.
