Guulabaa - Place of Koala

Koala Conservation Wild Breeding Guulabaa is now open to visitors from 10am - 2pm Thursday - Monday (except Christmas Day)!

Generous donations to our Port Macquarie Koala Hospital following the Black Summer Bushfires helped us realise our goal of building a Wild Koala Breeding facility in Cowarra State Forest (just off the Port Macquarie highway interchange). We named it ‘Guulabaa’, which means ‘Place of Koala’ (Gathang language).

We've partnered with Bunyah Land Council, Forestry Corporation of NSW, The Hello Koalas Sculpture Trail and Wildnets Adventure Park to make Guulabaa a fantastic and welcoming precinct for the public to visit, learn and play. 

The Koala Conservation Wild Breeding Visitor & Education Centre is now open alongside popular attractions Wildnets Adventure Park, and the Big Koala Sculpture - scroll down for more info.

At Koala Conservation Wild Breeding Guulabaa you’ll be able to:

• Observe our resident koalas
• Immerse yourself in the interactive, educational koala experience
• Learn about our Wild Koala Breeding program
• View koala care in action in the new koala clinic
• Watch and learn as we prepare koala feed

Also in the Guulabaa - Place of Koala precinct you can...

• Indulge in something yummy from Bunyah Land Council's Cafe.
• Stretch your legs along peaceful, forested pathways
• Bounce through the treetops at Wildnets Adventure Park.
• Grab the all-important ‘Big Thing’ selfie with the Big Koala.

*Our koala breeding yards are kept away from public view as it’s essential to keep them as close to the wild habitat as possible. However, you’ll likely spot some of our resident koalas!

** To make the most of your visit we recommend bringing a pair of binoculars - our koalas naturally live high in trees and can sometimes be tricky to spot!

We also recommend you prepare for the weather - it is an outdoor venue with little cover. Please bring a coat or umbrella for wet weather, and sunscreen and hat for when it is warm.
