Respectful koala and kangaroo encounters: a short guide

Use binoculars instead of approaching. Koalas high in gums are resting; noise and flash photography add stress. On kangaroo grazing lawns at dusk, stay at the fence line and never feed human food.

Road safety

Roos move unpredictably at dawn and dusk. Our packs flag blackspot map layers and suggest swapping drivers before twilight legs.

Sanctuaries

Prefer accredited wildlife parks with veterinary programs for close views. We link opening hours that align with regional microtrip arrival times.
