Koala holding at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
Whilst we hope for all guests to have the opportunity to meet a koala, the holding of a koala cannot be guaranteed on any given day. Reasons for this may include:
- Reduced number of handling koalas due to breeding season.
- Weather events (e.g heatwaves or flooding).
- Legal maximum koala handling time reached.
- Koala's choice. We do not force interactions upon our koalas.
