Thank you for your review of the sanctuary! We are very happy to hear you enjoyed your ride to the sanctuary on the Mirimar Cruise, it is definitely a great way to see Brisbane and our beautiful water-front suburbs with the audio commentary as you mentioned. We are lucky enough to house over 100 Koalas in our sanctuary and they are lovely to sit and watch whilst enjoying food and coffee from our Sleepy Koala Cafe. If you want to get up close and personal with our Koalas, we offer both Touch and Hold a Koala which are must do experiences when visiting Brisbane. We really love the recommendation for hat and sunscreen as it is very hot in Brisbane at the moment and our sanctuary is a mostly outside experience.

Thank you for your lovely review of our sanctuary! The Mirimar Cruise is a great way to visit the sanctuary as you are able to see the gorgeous sites of the Brisbane water fronts and also enjoy everything the sanctuary has to offer! We always recommend leaving enough time in between your experiences and your cruise to make sure you're back on time! Given we have been in school holidays our Hold a Koala opportunities tend to sell out very quickly! We always recommend pre-booking these experiences to ensure your spot.

Thank you for your brilliant review of our sanctuary. Our Dingo and Crocodile talks are a new addition to our Daily Schedule so we are so happy you got to experience this. Our keepers love getting the chance to talk about our gorgeous animals and it is great to get to see these animals show their knowledge and how they thrive in their sanctuary. Holding our Koalas is also a must do with the opportunity to give them a pat and cuddle and to get a professional photo from our photography team. Our Free-Range Roo Reserve allows you to get up close with our gorgeous animals and to hand feed both Kangaroos and Wallabies.

Thank you for your amazing review of our Platinum Tour! It is a brilliant new addition to our Wildlife Experiences. I will be sure to pass on your feedback to Kayla and Tiana, our education officers love to show our guests the brilliant nature of our animals. They're happy to cater to the needs of every Platinum Tour guest to make sure you get to experience the native Australian animals in our park. The Tour allows our guests the priority to get to see all our shows up close and get to see our Sheep Dogs and our Raptors. With the Platinum Tour you get exclusive access to our Dingo and Cassowary enclosures which no other experience allows you to do!

Thank you for your lovely review on your visit to the sanctuary! We are pleased that you enjoyed our Free Flight Raptor Show, which demonstrates the amazing flight and hunting abilities of our Australian raptors. Our raptor keepers are very experienced with the birds and they make the show a must-do experience as you get to see our native Australian birds. We are very glad you enjoyed our brand new Crocodile Talk, our reptile keepers are very passionate and love to give our guests a great education experience about our Estuarine Crocodile Wickham!

G'Day! Thank you for your 5-Star review! We are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the sanctuary! When you're here next, we have daily shows and photo opportunities throughout the day, for 10-15 minutes each which allows guests to make it in time for their next activity. You can find our daily schedule available on our website. It sounds like you got a chance to watch our sheep dog show which is definitely a must do on your trip to the sanctuary. Our staff certainly do a wonderful job at presenting our daily shows, and we hope you took home some new and interesting facts. We have also just launched Dingo talk which if you loved seeing our gorgeous dingoes we really think you would enjoy.

Thank you for this lovely 5-Star review. We are very happy to hear you got to spend some great time at our sanctuary! We have a lot of daily shows and we have just launched our new Dingo and Crocodile talks which are a great experience for all of our guests to gain some new insight in these beautiful animals. We are currently doing up our gift shop as a result of the 2022 Floods. We have our full gift shop down in the Sleepy Koala Cafe from 9-4pm. Our Sleepy Koala cafe is open from 9-3pm everyday, with the kitchen closing at 2pm, the Riverside cafe outside the sanctuary is open from 7:30-4pm each day also!

Thank you for your review! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip up on the Mirimar Cruise. All of our animals are Australian natives, and therefore are well-accustomed to our climate, and have different adaptations allowing them to be comfortable in varying temperatures. Our staff do a wonderful job at ensuring all animals are well cared for, in particular our specialised enrichment officer who works closely with our animals to ensure mental stimulation and encourage natural behaviours. When we are experiencing extreme heat, some animals are provided with paddling pools or hose-downs, whilst our birds enjoy water misters in their aviaries. This includes regular free flights for our birds, and walks for our dingoes and wombats, among other activities. We hope to welcome you to Lone Pine again soon for a refreshed experience.
