Just north of Gold Coast, in a suburb of Brisbane, we visit the world’s first and largest Koala nature reserve, the Lone Pine Sanctuary. Besides the kangaroo, the koala is the most common symbol of Australia. The koala is mistakenly called a bear because of its cute appearance.
In fact, however, the koala is considered a marsupial, which feeds its young with the mammary glands in the pouch. Here in this nature reserve, you can get very close to the koalas that live on trees and preferably eat eucalyptus leaves. Furthermore, you can learn a lot about their way of life in lectures. Aren’t they stunningly cute?
