About this activity
You will meet a koala. Intimately, ethically. Same with a kangaroo. The closest you can get to a koala and kangaroo, legally, in all of Sydney and most of NSW.
There's three things you must do when visiting Australia:
Meet the native animals, learn to throw a boomerang and enjoy an authentic Australian BBQ. Yes it includes shrimp ;)
We will literally "throw shrimp on the barbie". Vegetarian + vegan options available - no worries mate! Perfect for families, friends, solo travellers. Lunch cooked by your host, in front of you <3
We're driving to The 'Australian Reptile Park.' Included is an ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BARBECUE lunch, with accompanying Australian wine (and cheese platter). Boomerang lesson at the end!
If you're a private group of 4 or more - please email straight through! We can look at private group discounts ;)
Australia lost 30% of it’s koalas in bushfires. Koalas could be extinct by the year 2050. This Experience donates $3 per day, every day, ALL YEAR to Aussie Ark.
